I replaced battery, phone not booting up, blinks off/on apple symbol
Apple iphone 5 went dead, I replaced battery, it powered up to login screen , the battery charge indicator at 25%, started to enter security code and screen went blank. Plugged the phone in to charge and the apple symbol appears on screen then disappears for a few seconds then reappears in a cycle of 9 seconds appearing and 3 seconds black screen. I am looking for the next diagnosis step. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Is this a good question?

If you did this yourself:
When unplugging the battery did you make sure to not pry any small components near the connector?
Sounds like a bad aftermarket / refurbished (used) battery.

I spoke with a local iphone repair MD that said the same thing . He suggested getting a battery from ifixit, which I am going to do. Ifixit was my first choice but I found something "a little cheaper" on Amazon. Sometimes those decisions "getcha". Thanks for the reply. I concur. BTW, I was very careful in unplugging the battery, as I watched several videos online before removing. Thanks for replying Ben.
