I randomly saw my phone rebooting but once I saw it at the Galaxy S4 logo at boot it turned the whole screen to white. It was plugged into my charger when it rebooted. So I took it apart and that white thing, pointed in the picture, was heating up very fast. I felt the heat dissipating off of it.

Details of my panic situation below.
The phone is still awake and I can feel haptic feedback and hear sounds, but the screen is just blank. Did a number of battery pull but still nothing. Finally after awhile of battery pulling and letting it sit for a few seconds off, I powered on the device and I could see some sort of grey tint on the screen where I was met with a very vague but still visible boot animations. After about 3 seconds, it improves and I pushed slightly on the screen and noticed it helped, so I pushed on it further to help it out and it just turned back to normal everything turned out fine. What could be the problem with it?
what could be the problem? I never dropped it or anything so any suggestions as to why this happened and if it'll happen again?
So the other day i left my galaxy note charging in my truck on a hot day, i left it in there for about 20-30 mins and when i grabbed it, it was burning up. i let it cool down then turned it on, worked for a little bit then shut of. i tried turning it on again and did the same thing. Now it just turns on shows the two samsung logos and restarts itself, but when it is on the charger it will load up completely for a second then it turns off and goes to the charging screen, I have done master resets restored it, everything i could think of. i was running the 4.1.2 jelly bean update via kies and it was rooted. Im not sure what the prblem is but i believe it is just the battery... Please help

would you leave your child in a hot car for 20-30 minutes and expect it to ok? there should be law against doing that with your phone.
is the battery charging? or did it charge while you left it suffering in the heat of your truck?
maybe your fried your cable?
power button isn't stuck is it?
If you beleive its just the battery, buy a new one from ebay for about $8.00

Haha i understand that, its not the charging cable, i can charge it fully and try and turn it on but it does the same thing, i didnt fry the cable, i just let it charge while cooking in the sun. Im ordering a battery and hoping that its just a fried battery.
Did the new battery fix it? Driving along today mine just shut down and is doing the exact same thing. Boot loops, but with charger plugged in it boots to the charging screen. Sometimes it loads for half a second. Curious if the battery worked before I go hunting one down locally tomorrow.
Been running the GPE ROM flawlessly since I flashed on the 12th... Until today. Don't know if this is ROM related but maybe you guys can help.
Out of nowhere, my phone kept shutting off. Couldn't use it for more than a minute after booting before it would turn off completely. Battery was charged so I was kind of like 'wtf'. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't even get to the swirling colors boot screen. It would shut off halfway though the Samsung Custom logo. ****.
Tried plugging it in and pulling the battery multiple times. I can't even boot to recovery! The blue text shows in the upper left but then it will go off again. It's plugged in now but not showing the battery charging screen.
I can only get it to turn on for about a second. Am I ****ed? Is this thing bricked? Super random because I changed NOTHING this morning and it was fine yesterday.

It could be a power button failure, it's actually quite common on the S4.

I got a Note 2 from a guy on Craigslist that apparently had died. Wouldn't boot, no lights, but battery did warm up after staying on the charger for a while, so it seemed to be charging. Got another note 2 with a busted screen, but which does boot. Screen is completely shattered with no backlight or image on the screen, but you can hear it fully boot. When I swapped the board from the second phone to the dead one, nothing happens still. No boot. No blue light. Nothing at all. I tried the board I pulled out of the first phone in the shattered phone and it appears to boot. Swap the board that came out of it back and it boots, but nothing happens with either board when I put them into the first phone. I've also swapped the usb boards and they both work in the phone with the shattered screen. I'm stumped! The first phone I got is super clean, and doesn't appear to have any water damage to phone or battery, and my shattered note 2 boots with both batteries. I thought the issue was the well known sudden death issue, but it seems I have a different problem. Any suggestions?
edit: Well I got the first phone to boot with the original mainboard, but it will only boot if the connector on the top right (looking at the rear of phone) is disconnected. When I connect it it won't do squat. I'm assuming this is the video connector, but not sure.
Tonight I left the phone charging when it was at 10% and woke up to it stuck on the start up screen (HUAWEI with 'powered by android' in the bottom with the black background).
If I try to shut it down with the power button it goes black for a few seconds and then restarts again by itself, but gets stuck again in the Huawei logo screen.
I noticed the phone charger wasn't working too well before this happened (it kept stopping to charge if I moved the wire a bit) so it might be related.
Anyway I tried charging the phone with a different charger for 3 hours, but nothing happened, also the LED which shows how charged the phone is doesn't work but I still think it charged because it was getting warm.
Then I tried to go in 'Recovery mode' with Power+Volume up while charging, and 2 rectangles, one magenta on top and one blue on the bottom, with a green background appeared (like this but the red square was hot pink). Nothing happens while in this screen, so I shut the phone down and it restarted, going back to the Huawei logo.
Right now I'm waiting for the battery to exhaust and see if that does anything.
Anything I can do? It's okay if I have to do a Factory reset and lose my data, even if that sucks, but right now I can't afford to buy a new phone :/
