Re: What "loose components" on the motherboard cause bootloop, LG warranty repair procedure? Yes using copper shim to dissipate heat is very good suggestion. I have made same recommendations in other posts about LG G4. But couple of points - 1) professionals in logic board repair will tell...

Yes it's Anniversary iphone, but also remember that price is going up. I heard above $1000 minimum for iphone 8. Also lots of people are holding onto their old phones longer and longer, because new phones doesn't feature any substantial improvement (other than faster cpu, more memory, thinner...
