Samsung Galaxy S4 Will Not Start - GSM-Forum

I'm looking for some advice with my Samsung Galaxy S4.

I have been having trouble with it getting past the launch Samsung screen.
It began not long after I put a new battery in my device. Some of the time I was able to get through and I was able to use my phone for a short while until It inevitably did the same and screen went black. I changed the motherboard in the hope that It would fix the issue, which it did for about 48 hour period. Now I am back to only being able to boot as far as the Samsung open screen again before the screen goes blank. It seems to vibrate a fair bit as If its trying to reboot but with no luck. I have tried to reboot into both Safe mode and recovery mode with no luck. When i plug my charger into the phone am i met with similiar behaviour from the phone. It begins to recognise with the lightning bolt sign coming onto the screen but doesnt get any further than that and there is no LED light illuminated. Where do you think the fault would be? Was considering changing up the daughterboard? or what else would anyone recommend doing?

Thanks in advance for your time.
