After battery replace, Mac is hot and cannot reboot

I replaced my battery with the kit and followed the video tutorial. Everything seems to have gone smoothly. When recharging to full after an hour or so, the light is amber, but it is hot and the fan is running. I tried turning on the computer but am only getting a flashing folder on screen. Hoping it a connection issue

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Did you follow the step below after putting it back together? These laptops are particular when you pull the boards out and put them back in.

To avoid logic board damage, when your MacBook repair is complete but before powering it on, connect it to low-voltage power using a 5-Watt iPhone charger and a USB-C to USB-A cable. These accessories are not included with your MacBook, so make sure you have them ready before you begin
