What happened- I plugged in an iphone 5C screen and tried powering it on. There were sparks and it got very hot I have recently tried using a new screen, dock connector and battery but no luck :( The phone is not showing up in itunes, but the board does get slightly warmer when i try and power it on with the new battery etc Does anyone have any idea what the fault could be? :) Thank you!

Possibly a motherboard issue? Have you tried another battery just in case the battery is whats causing it to get very hot?
