Use this guide to replace a faulty logic board in your iPhone SE.
This component is not compatible with the iPhone 5s part.
It's important to note that each iPhone's logic board and Touch ID fingerprint sensor are paired at the factory, so replacing the logic board will disable Touch ID unless you also install a replacement home button that has been properly paired to your new logic board.

where can I buy a logic board?
There is not much of a used market for these yet so they will be hard to come by. Most will be from dead units. You can try ebay for broken phones just be careful what you buy.
