I replaced both the battery and the lightning port connector and now the phone will not charge. It turned on and showed 1%. I then tried it with another battery and the original charging port. Nothing worked. The origional charging port worked, i just had to move the cable to a certain size.
Is this a good question?

Do a thorough visual inspection, preferably with magnification, of the area surrounding the battery connector. There are several tiny SMD components just above the connector. Of particular importance is R2201, at the top-left of the connector. If it is missing (which can happen when you pry the connector off), then the battery state does not get communicated to the CPU and this can also cause charging issues and fluctuating readings.

What exactly would R2201 look like? And if it is missing, could I use one from an iPhone 5 or 6 as a substitute?
Here is a picture of the connection. The battery is brand new and the lightning port are brand new. I am an amature who has replaced many screens and batteries but not a lightning port. I thought it went well and now i'm frustrated. Please help. https://ibb.co/zfg8m3r @refectio
Just looked up R2201. These resistors are really small, I don't think I am capable of replacing it if I find the part online. @refectio

The phone is now not turning on. Presumably because it is dead. Also, when it was still on, it was not recognized by both a mac and windows computer.
