Every single time I do a simple screen replacement on iPhone SE, I turn it back on and it stays at 1%. That’s it. Before repair, charging normal. After repair, doesn’t charge at all and stays at 1%. This has happened 8/8 times.
I’ve come across this issue 3 times in the last week, and there’s one point in common with all 3 devices : missing small components next to the battery connector on the motherboard (see image). I’ve done research, and this seems to be the problem. I can’t tell you exactly what they do, but it seems related to charging the battery/not detecting the battery. If you don’t have a battery plugged in, the phone will boot loops, same as this issue. I’ve put a new battery in that was charged, and all 3 phones turned on, but wouldn’t charge even though the charging icon was present. The battery depleted until the phone turned off, boot looping again. I’ve sent the devices to someone that can do micro-soldering, and will update when I get the result.
Just fixed two phones with this exact issue. L2400 had been knocked by a plastic pick. Bridged L2400 on both devices - did not replace L2400. Both devices are now charging and working. See Image Below:
Haven’t had this issue yet. Your disconnecting the battery, while doing the repair, right?
I also had already 2 times the same issue… only that last time the battery was charged for 81 percent en when I plugged the charger in it said charging en switched to 77 percent. And stayed en didn’t load go up. Seems that they are sensitive or what ?
Same issue here, maybe someone already found a solution? new dock + battery only seems to make things worse. Anyone?
I have personally never seen the issue (what caused it) but I did have a look at another one from a shop that brings me stuff they can’t fix in hopes that I can fix it. Lol. This one had some very slight water damage probably like 1 drop next to the charge port connector. Anyways I took a quick look in a 2 day period I could not find the cause. Everything checked out. I changed out the sketchy looking capacitors. I even changed the tristar and still same issue. Would not charge. Good luck maybe if I have more time with one in the future I may be able to figure it out.
Same issue here, anyone found a fix yet?
Ditto. Replaced an SE screen and nothing I could do would make the iPhone SE charge. Will have to replace the phone out of my own pocket. :-(
After the new update if you are using non apple OEM screens this happens all the time. seems like phone can somehow tell its an aftermarket screen and do this wierd battery thing. Strange part is phone will last all day on 1%.
Was the home button stiff after the screen replacement but prior to the phone not charging? Also would the screen turn on and be responsive or was it just looping the start up or black? -Everything Apple Northern Colorado
I have the same problem, is any solution? Can you advise me please? Does anyone know what’s the cause? Thanks.
The first issue is that you are disconnecting the battery from the wrong place second issue is you are most likely using a prying tool to do so. Try using your finger nail and don’t go from the center try lifting from the edge of the connector. I had this issue on my very first SE repair. Replaced the damaged components and works like a charm. If you need any help feel free to ask

Hi, Does anyone have a guide on how to bridge L2400 on a iPhone SE, Thanks AJ
I have this same problem too.. however, i think the answer is that when i unplugged the battery, i may have knocked one of the four capacitors out.. I don’t have a microscope but my eyesight is good and it looks like the same capacitor is knocked off in my phone, and in this video. However, she is obviously a pro, and i am not.. So i doubt that i can do this repair, since the capacitors are about the same size as a grain of sand. Pretty annoyed with myself, but honestly, at the time, i thought i was doing everything right, so no reason to be too annoyed.. just try to learn from these mistakes.
Here she shows the capacitor that is knocked off.. https://youtu.be/qaHBpxZE4L0?t=446
I have a solution Dont unplug the battery just turn the iphone off Complete the repair works for me all the time
