My iPhone 6 has some problem in the logic board causing it not to display anything on the LCD. The phone is still recognized by iTunes. There is no passcode on the phone. I've tried to repaid the board with no luck. Is there a way to get the data off of the device using iTunes or some other software?

Do you know how to do that? I don't imagine that I would be able to press the "allow access to PC" button without a screen
You could try connecting to iTunes, and then pressing on the screen where the message usually pops up (center of screen and just above half-way up). It might take you several tries to get it but, I think it is doable.

Yes
You may want to try this.
Using the usb3 camera adapter connect power and a usb keyboard.
Hit the home button
On the keyboard enter the passcode
Then plug the phone into the computer and the trust window pops up and you can hit enter

Try this on an operational device to get the keystrokes

It take patience and trial and error but it works
