Phone overheating after connecting battery replacement

I followed the instructions to replace the battery for a iPhone XR. The phone wouldn't turn on anymore even when charging for a long time so I suspected it was the battery.

When I connect the new battery to the board the phone is making a buzzing noise and the components near the connector are getting hot. When I connect the old battery nothing happens.

Could it be another issue then the old battery which caused the phone to not turn on anymore? Maybe the old battery didn't charge anymore because if this and now when I connect the new battery everything is powered again and the real issues surfaces?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Hi,

It could be that your original battery died due to some type of short circuit on the motherboard, hence when you plug in a new battery it starts to discharge and the area heats up. This could be due to a short in the charging circuitry or possibly a component was damaged when you were unplugging the battery connector.

If you have experience working with surface mount components and tracing shorts, you can identify the issue and possibly rectify it, otherwise I would take it to a repair shop.
