iPhone 6 doesn't charge, when plugged in IT bootloops.
I've searched far and wide for an answer and I just can't find anything definitive..
My iPhone 6 does the following:
When not plugged in, it does absolutely nothing. Doesn't boot, doesn't show low battery.
When plugged into the wall with a genuine charger, it shows the red battery symbol, nothing else. No indication it's charging, and I let it sit like that for 30 minutes, then the following happens:
The apple logo comes on, stays for 5 seconds about, then turns off and tries again. About 5 times and then it stops.
What I've done so far:
Changed the battery, to a refurbished one, nothing changed.
Tried to go into recovery, it only works when plugged in and iTunes doesn't see the phone when connected.
My question now: is this a specific collection of symptoms, maybe for a tristar chip damage? Or is that just a software problem? Is the phone savable?
Thanks for everything!
Cette question est-elle utile ?

Was the refurbished battery a known good battery? Or did you buy a “refurbished” one from online and plug it in? Have you tried disconnecting anything else like the cameras or charge port and try to boot it up?

Good questions @hootonberg. I would also add that some history of the device would be helpful as well.

@hootonberg I bought the battery on ebay from a commercial seller that described it as used and genuine. Can't say more than "I thought it looked good" lol
Are bad batteries known to cause issues like this? If so that's a good lead
I will also try to boot the thing with cameras and or charge port unplugged to see if that helps it, thank you!
@refectio I actually bought the phone on ebay as well. It was described as having this problem but I thought it would just be a bad battery, but I'm only starting with the iPhone repairing so I don't have much experience

@slapmyface never trust parts sold on eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, Wish, or AliExpress as they have no quality control over phone parts. Odds are you did purchase a dead battery that was labeled as "genuine OEM". Try sourcing parts from reputable suppliers like Mobile Sentrix, Injured Gadgets, and Mobile Defenders. Those are the top three suppliers and offer not only quality parts but also a great warranty to back them.
