Bypass iCloud Activation lock?

I bought a Water Damaged iPhone 4S intentionally, hoping to fix it so I can use it for my needs. Turns out the logic board was fried and was short-circuited, and the cheapest logic board for the 4S are logic boards that are iCloud locked. I haven't bought it yet, but is there a way to bypass it? Another real logic board isn't really an option since I'm on a tight budget. The logic board is on iOS 7.

As far as I know "icloud" locked on an iphone is unbreakable

at least thats what all the forums were saying when I researched it

best bet is buying a scrap one that has had major screen/body damage
