iphone 4 burning HOT after battery swap and now draining fast
Hello,
I'm a DIY'er and very cheap. This is my first blog post ever. Excuse my unawareness. iphone out of warranty.
Problem: My iphone burns hot when charging or when the screen is on.
Cause: I was replacing a screen on my SISTERS iphone, used my own personal battery in my iphone to boot her phone to make sure i didnt buy a dud.
But keep in mind both were ATT iphone 4 models. Both with the same IOS.
I've replaced a screen before no problem. BUT this time the phone wouldnt fire up. So to make sure I didnt buy a dud, i removed the battery from my personal phone, placed it in my SISTERS iphone and bam it worked. Yay! Her iphone is working. So i removed my battery and reassembled her phone with her battery. Still working just fine.
Now my phone is in need of repair. This is what i get for trying to help. Again, my iphone burns hot only when charging or when the screen is on. Battery is depleted in 1.5hrs.
FAILED Attempts to fix by:
Re-seatting the battery 10x plus.
Swapped batterries several times again.
Tried reconditioning.
Blew air on the charging pins.
Tried all the disable/delete mail accounts, icloud, restrictions, even airplane mode.
Reset Network settings, then tried All settings, then tried erase all and restored with a NEW setup, no backups.
Upgraded to IOS 6.0.1.
Now im just going to completely disassemble/reassemble my phone out of desperation.
I think all that may be left is possibly i caused a short. My iphone screen has two hairline cracks, but un-noticable by touch and also touch is working 100%. I think maybe somehow the screen is now causing the iphone to overwork itself. IDK how bcuz i lived with these 2 cracks for abt a year now till the recent battery swap.
Im undecided if i should try my sisters screen on my phone, bcuz i dont want anymore problems.
I dont want to buy a new phone. Any help would be much appreciated.
iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1, 2 hairline cracks on screen.
