iPhone 6 won't charge after ifixit battery replacement!
My phone won't power on after finishing the battery replacement. I carefully made sure all connectors were not bend and snapped back into place firmly and evenly including the battery connector. When I press the power or home button I see a battery icon on the screen with a few red bars. If the iPhone is NOT plugged into the charger a lightening cable and lightening bolt icon also appears; when plugged in only the red battery icon shows. I've left it plugged in for about 10 minutes and nothing has changed. Typically when my battery is dead and i plug the iPhone in it starts up within a couple minutes. Sadly I didn't test this before sticking the new battery in place and don't have spare adhesive strips. How do I troubleshoot and fix this problem? Did I get a bad replacement battery or is something else wrong? This is obviously very frustrating as my phone is now out of commission!
Is this a good question?

I have found by leaving mine plugged in longer it will finally come on but only once it is charged to 100% but this isn't good because I have to go so long with out my phone! I can't let it go below 40% because it will then die and not come back on till totally recharged. I was wondering if I just got a bad battery as well?
