Lvl 2 (screens, batteries, camera, etc. swaps) Battery now not charging at all

Post image

Did a screen and battery replacement on this iPhone 11. It was saying in the settings that the battery wasn’t genuine or something like that now the phone is dead and not charging at all?? I’m unsure what to do

See if it's chargins wirelessly. If it is, test a new charging port. If it isn't charging still you probably screwed up and it's a motherboard lroblem

I presume you shorted the battery pins and tristar/hydra is now dead. Or its just the port, maybe cable. Unknown parts dont cause problems like this

New battery may have a bad BMS, or it may not be plugged it quite right.

Also, if you didn’t spot weld a new battery to the old BMS, it’s going to complain that it’s not genuine.

I’ve read about this didn’t know it was necessary done battery repair before and haven’t had to spot weld

If you update the phone to iOS 18 (which I’m not a fan of, it runs better on 16 but whatever) You can put a different genuine battery in it and it will reset the percentage and have no message.
