Hi I have a strange issue, I have an iPhone 5S with signs of water damage. I have replaced the battery and screen, The device in general works fine until the battery goes flat, or it is turned off. When I turn it back on, the display does not light up at all although the phone is recognised normally in iTunes. When I hold down both buttons it will boot up fine and work flawlessly. The phone does not vibrate when I attempt to turn it back on so I believe although the phone is recognised fine by itunes it does not successfully boot fully until I hard reset it… The phone otherwise works fine and I have restored it via DFU mode
It will sometimes turn on normally after turning it off. Just then the battery went “flat” even though it shows 59% on reboot. Do you think it is a Power IC chip issue?
