Stuck in a loop

Last night my phone suddenly restarted and gave me a notification saying it wasn't able to confirm that it is powered by a genuine Apple Battery, which is strange since I have never had this phone repaired or had anything changed. After a while, the phone started turning on and off around ever 5 minutes until it eventually just shut down for good. Currently, it is stuck on the apple logo and REFUSES to turn on... I can't even put it in recovery mode or anything to try to fix it. Help?

Hi Kalfhey,

It's going to be difficult to determine what's wrong without being able to power up the phone. A repair technician would probably open it up and start taking voltage and resistance measurements on the logic board to pinpoint the problem, but for us home do-it-yourselfers that's a bit beyond our comfort zone.

At this point the only clue we have is your indication that you got a battery warning on the original battery, so if it was my phone I would start there, by replacing the battery. They're not prohibitively expensive and one of the more common, straight-forward and well understood repairs, so it would make sense to try that as the first step in figuring out what's wrong with your phone.

Although you can find the battery cheaper on other sites such as eBay, Amazon or AliExpress, you can support iFixit's repair outreach by buying from them.

And of course iFixit has you covered with a guide to show you step by step how to replace the battery.

Good luck; let us know how it goes.
