Chosen Solution
Right–here’s the problem. I’m an idiot, first of all, and I suffer for my stupidity. Secondly, I mistook one of the prying bits as the battery part and pried that off instead of the battery. I figured out my huge mistake after I disassembled the screen and all that junk. The problem here is this: is this phone dead? I’m arguably sure that this battery hasn’t seen a jolt of charge after it’s been water damaged (as it was when I bought it), and it hasn’t been recognized by my mac before. No battery indicator, nothing. I also haven’t got the smoke that everyone talks about (or a burning smell, anything) while disassembling it. Is it cooked? Is it alright? Am I a failure in life with forty bucks down the drain because I have two left eyes? These are very important life questions. I’ll owe you a huge one if you can help me out of my predicament.
I have given this answer already to someone, you can try this also and maybe this will help you to solve your problem. Because of it has been in contact with water you must clean the connectors with alcohol. Put a new good battery in it, that would be my first thing to do if it was mine. A few days ago I had a iPhone X what wasn’t recognise by iTunes and could not put it in DFU mode and the screen was black, no live at all. The iPhone was not recognise by iTunes because in settings the phone was disabled to use usb if it wasn’t used longer than 1 hour. Afther I put in a new battery the phone show a sign of live, then I put a new screen on the phone a now it works.
