iPhone not charging or recognizing cable/computer
I have my friends iPhone 5 that is not recognizing it is plugged in to power. Also itunes is not recognizing it on the computer. He recently replaced the battery (not from ifixit probably ebay). Can the battery itself cause the phone NOT to recognize that the phone is plugged in?
When I hit the power button, the flashing red battery is there with a lightning cord symbol on the bottom. Normally, when you plug it into a power source, the lightning symbol goes away and it just shows the battery. In this case, when plugged into a power source the lightning symbol is still there as if it doesn't recognize that it is plugged in. I used a wooden toothpick to pick out some lint in the port, and still nothing.
A few things I did was try using multiple known good OEM lightning charger cords and still no dice. I opened up the phone and disconnected, and reconnected the battery cable but no luck either.
Can a crappy battery cause the phone not to recognize the cord? OR is there a deeper issue here?
Thanks!

So I got a new flex cable, overlaid it over the old one and plugged in the new flex
Cable into the board. Then plugged in a lightning charger, and same result, no charging and it doesn't sense something is plugged in, lightning cable symbol still there. I went ahead and replaced the cable anyways and same result. I did see a dent on a metal shield on the board where my friend could have pried on to get the battery cable off, but I'm not sure if that could have Been the cause of this issue. I have a picture attached. Can someone chime in on if the battery can cause this issue?[image|798063]

Ouch.. I wouldn't spend money on this device... unless I had free time and the ability to remove the shield and see what's wrong. Otherwise your phone seems dead, or could be bad U2, which is very tricky to replace on an iPhone 5. Not worth it in my humble opinion.
