iPhone 7+ can't be charged & only boot up for 1 min or less


my spouse's iPhone 7+ could barely be charged:

after charging it for hours, it could only be powered

up for a minute or less.


Took it to a repair shop & after swapping 2 different

batteries (OEM type), he's still facing the same issue:

could only power it up for less than 1 min.


He's suggesting to change entire motherboard.


Q1:

is it possible to just temporarily loan a motherboard

to power it on to backup the data out?


Q2:

Which component is likely to be the root cause?


Q3:

I suggested that the iPhone 7 is constantly plugged

into a laptop with iTunes so it can be constantly

powered up while it's being backed up: the repair

man said it won't even last for 1 min: I can't get to

verify this?  Is he saying the truth?


Q4:

Tired with iPhone, is there sort of Smart Switch

app that could backup entire content of the 

iPhone to a Galaxy Note?

Is it possible to transfer the storage/NVRAM

(that stores Contacts, apps, messages) from

the old iPhone 7+  to  iPhone 8+   so that all

contents are intact?


Is there a Youtube video so that I can direct

the repairman to watch that video.
