Hi, I am refurbishing an iPhone se. And when I went to test it boot looped . I bought a new battery and the problem persisted so I tried to restore the iPhone and it isn’t working. Even when I only have the battery logic board and dock connector connected out with the housing
I had a similar issue on a 5S a customer bought in for battery replacement a while ago. Device was bootlooping after a battery replacement. Turned out to be an issue with the U2 chip, which is the main power management chip on the motherboard. Might be worth heading to a specialist and seeing if they can help. I know some of the more recent phones will bootloop if you don’t connect a home button to the device. I don’t think that applies to the SE but it’s worth a check. Have you tried booting it whilst making sure the home button is fully connected?
