How can I wipe a locked logic board?

So I am replacing a logic board on an iPhone 7 Plus and I find a cheap logic board on eBay for less than $40. Come to find out, it is locked. I have tried YouTube/Googling and have yet to find a method that will allow me to get past the required lock screen which displays the limited email address. I get it into recovery mode > Restore and Update > Lock Screen. Other methods require me to manually enter DNS addresses but like I said, nothing.

You can’t. Also keep in mind when buying a new logic board such as that one your eyeing on eBay it won’t work with your existing touch id sensor, this is because they are paired at the factory.

As Reece said there’s no technical real fix to a iCloud locked board as Apple will always see the S/N as locked. However if you really need it to work you can use a tool called Checkra1n then pay to get service working as well as being untethered. The service is called sonick14, keep in mind if you restore the phone with a computer it will become ic locked again.

Yes this is possible, but thats jail breaking. If you want to do it all clean you would have to buy a logic board fingerprint sensor combo.
