Battery drains completely then won't charge or turn back on

I am repairing an iphone 5. I have replaces battery and everything is working great! How ever, weather the battery is draining even when powered off, of once I turn the phone off I can not get any indication that the phone is charging because it won't turn on.

The phone seems to work fine when I place a new charged battery and will show charging when plugged in. Will get to 100%. But if the battery is trained... then there is nothing I can do to get it to come back on.

Answer this question I have this problem too

First, always rule out a charging port and 2 brand new batteries in case the first is bad. Aftermarket batteries come bad all the time. Actually try 2 charging ports also as those come bad a lot as well.

Then I would look at the small components right above the battery connector on the board itself. If there was accidental pry damage to the filter, for example, you could have charging problems. Check to make sure theres no loose small components. You have a few small caps and two filters. Should be able to get away with a cap removed but if one or both filters are loose/gone it'll need to be replaced.
