I followed instructions on youtube, unscrewed the 2 screws on the end took the back off, unscrewed 2 more screws in battery clamp replaced battery then refitted everything.

I hate to tell you this, but you're hosed. Find a competent repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple won't touch your phone now.

Sadly what KiltedTim just said; the reason I asked is because you've completely undone any support from Apple Support; they won't even do an OOW for you anymore....

at some point during your personal inspection of the device there is a potential failure you did with the device that caused this issue. :/
