The motherboard is where all the different chips that make the phone run are located. The motherboard needs to be replaced anytime one of the chips on it breaks in order for the phone to work again. Since all other components of the phone connect to the motherboard, all the connectors must be disconnected in order to safely remove the motherboard.
