battery replacement creates "over temp" error.

I replaced my battery because it was bulging and had lifted my display. Prior to replacement the phone worked perfectly. After replacement the phone powers up but screen displays "Temperature. IPhone needs to cool down. " swiping to activate the phone yields a blank screen with the usual header showing reception, battery, etc.

I have tried reseating the battery, fully charging, chilling, none of these have had an affect. The phone is not addressable via usb long enough to reinstall software.

One concept that may play a role here is that the old battery was stuck to the logic board due to expansion and heat. I teased it apart carefully but maybe a component was lifted. Does anyone know where these phones sense temperature?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

does it boot with the old battery?

I would check a schematic, and see if there is a battery temp sensor of some sort. This happens a lot on other electronics.

So as i understand the old batery over heated and warped the device which still works fine however you put a new batery in an its not operating as it should. In this the new batery will never work corectly(lucky it even works in the device) as it wont fit into the warp shape and im surprised the batery contacts sit right. The fact the batery works is good an not the trubble however the device. The device was made flat an now its dished which meens your screen is going to act up add in a heat damaged board. I can only say replace the board an screen or send it to your bone yard and get a new one.
