Forgot to power down

[Mossley Hall]

Help wanted please.
I needed to change my battery in my iphone 5, no problem in itself, lots of videos on line. sadly I forgot to power down the iphone first and now i cant switch it on. Anyone know a fix for this? I have tried itunes but it says before i can restore I need to have "find my iphone" switched off the handset

Have you tried a hard reset? Holding the power button and home button at the same time. Could take up to a min before anything happens but its worth a shot...

I found this on a comment from a youtube video...maybe give it a go seeing you don't have much to lose at this point...

Open it up. Remove the battery. Loosen the volume button screws back to their original tension. Put the battery back in. Seal up the case. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake/Power and Home buttons at the same time for 10 seconds plus

sounds like something isn't connected correctly, or you got a a bad replacement part.

Managed to get my pc to restore the program but it still wont power up. Taken it apart again, removed the screen connection plate checked connections and put back. Tried it again, does nothing. put old battery back, nothing. Seems like something must have happened due to me disconnecting the old battery without powering the phone off first I guess. thanks for your assistance.
