Battery replacement gone bad on iPhone 4s
Hi Guys, A friend who promised to replace the battery, couldn't replace it properly. Now he is saying that the connector on the logic is bad and came off. He glued it but the phone is doing crazy things. Following is the symptoms that I noticed on the phone.
1. No battery recognition when disconnected from the power cable. when I press the power button, it does not respond at all.
2. Turns on when connected to the AC power and indicates that it has 100% of the battery.
3. Restarts every few minutes when connected to the AC power.
4. Wi-Fi Does not turn on through the control panel or through the settings menu when connected to the AC power. wi-fi is greyed out in the setting section.
Please help as getting the data out of the phone is a priority for me.
Thanks
NJ

Good Morning,
So after reviewing the following videos,
1. From pugeotsoundelectronics.com

2. From icrack

I decided to open the phone one more time and look at the connector. No doubt, that the connector is the problem. It turns out that the battery connector was broken and the friend tried to glue it. The connector is partially broken and is still stuck to the logic board. See the attached pictures below.
So now the question is, how can
1. I remove the remaining segment of the plastic stuck to the logic board.
2. Check that there is no damage in the circuit (i.e. connectivity test to confirm that the circuit is still good and that glue has not created any shorts).
3. And then attempt to re-solder a new connector, without disassembling the entire phone and get the logic board out.
Any thoughts will be very helpful?
