The weirdest thing has just happened. My iPhone 5 broke the other day. I took it to be repaired and they replaced the screen, battery and motherboard (for a reasonable price otherwise I wouldn't have bothered). I'm getting a new phone soon so I will give this one to my dad, but in the meantime I'm still using it. Anyway, in the repair shop they had to completely wipe the phone (part of the fault was that it wouldn't do anything and was frozen on the Apple logo) I got it back today and it's as good as new and works perfectly, however after completing an iCloud restore and while I was waiting for all my apps to load, an email came through which said "Find My iPhone on Dan's Phone has been disabled". I'm so confused...my name is not Dan!!! My initial thought was oh no they have done something in the repair shop, however part of the initial fault was that the phone/screen would do nothing and the reason they replaced the motherboard was to sort this out. I'm just really confused...

The motherboard IS the phone, so that motherboard was called Dans Phone by its previous owner. If it's all reset and iCloud was off it might have been a phone bought in by the repair shop as spares. Almost the whole electronics part of the phone is all on one board.

If you knew they were replacing the motherboard then they did what you told them to.
