iPhone se 2, just put in a new battery and it won't turn on or charge
i figure i need a new phone but id just like to be certain before i go and spend those hundreds of dollars. i bought an ifixit iphone battery kit and installed the new battery.
- i drained the old battery to below 25% before i started this
- i had some trouble removing the old battery and tried to forcefully lever it out (didnt see the instructions warning me to not do exactly that)
- im worried i might have damaged the battery connector. i probably smushed it too hard when i was trying to reconnect it, it wouldnt click and stay in place. im still not sure if its actually connected properly, if it doesnt plug into its own connector then i dont know what to do?
- i also damaged this black thing probably while trying to remove the old battery https://64.media.tumblr.com/e59852cd0865...
- ive tried hard resetting the phone but i think it needs to be actually on for that to work
now the phone wont turn on because of a dead battery but it wont charge either. when i plug it in and try to turn it on it shows me the empty battery logo as if its charging. but i had it plugged in for the afternoon + all night and its definitely not charging
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
First things first, do you have the right battery? Can you confirm the exact model number of your phone for us? SE 2 isn't really a model, although SE 2020 would be a number we could use if that's your phone.
A link to the product page of the battery you bought would let us confirm you've got the right one once we know exactly which phone you have.

@borgus Awesome, that confirms the phone we're working with and that you do indeed have the right battery.
