My phone is seriously overheating instantly, any fix?

Hi, so my device starts overheating instantly whenever I put the battery in (didn’t even turn the phone on), another thing I noticed is the camera flash led turns on when I place the battery. simple sequences : phone is off —->puts battery in (phone still off) —-> camera flash led turns on and overheats instantly (phone still off). Hope anyone can help solve this or at least help identify the real cause. Thanks in advance.

Update

So, I forgot to add, that I used a different battery and that didn’t fix the issue, another thing I suspect is my child used his fast charger to charge the phone for a week which isn’t supported by the phone resulting in the first battery death, after that I bought a cheap battery off ebay and died too after putting it in and powering on the phone 2 times, now I bought another original battery and I saw that the issue is still exists, so I only placed it in and powered on the phone to verify if it’s still functional (which it is) and took it off don’t want this one to die too.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

It seems to be a battery or Motherboard issue, to issolate the issue can you use a different battery for the moment and see if the issue still continues.
