1 iPhone 7 wont turn on after battery and screen replacement
Hi,
I am in the process of replacing a screen and a battery on an iPhone 7.
I have installed both (but not applied either adhesive yet) and it will not turn on… I have plugged it in and it has been charging for about 10 minutes but still nothing… I tried plugging it into my mac but got no response… I then tried to reset the phone (holding volume and power buttons) and it came up on itunes saying that there is a problem with this phone and that it needs to be restored to fix it…
Shall I get my friend’s icloud details and do so?
What else can I try?
Is this a good question?

Just to add - the owner of the phone did say that the phone would just randomly die and that was the reason for the battery replacement...

Update: I have plugged the old screen in... it didnt turn on straight away but when I plugged it in to the charger it turned on... and when I disconnected the charger it remained on

possibly a faulty screen shorting something

Another update... so old screen worked so I started reassembling the phone but then once I had put the battery bracket on the phone would get stuck on a boot loop... had me extremely worried! I had a thought that something was shorting (I had tested the earpiece and the home button so couldnt be those interfering) and remembered that there was not a foam pad on the new battery connector... I swapped that over and now it seems to work perfectly with the old screen... new screen is in the post already so hopefully that fixes that problem!
