How to start an iPhone without battery?
Hi,
I have a problem with an old 3GS. The battery is dead and I can't start it. It turned off one day and since then I didn't used it any more because I bought another one. But, I didn't throw away because I have some photos I want to recover. I've tried also connecting to iTunes but without success. So, I decided to buy another battery to replace the old one (not the original one any more) so I can start it and recover the photos. I've replaced the battery successfully but .... when I've turned it on I felt that the battery is was warm and when the phone starts the battery was at 15% an then in 2-3 min drain completely. Since then is in the same situation like before replacing the battery (phone is dead).
Now, my questions are:
1. Should I try another battery? Maybe the one I bought was a wrong model (616-0435). Like I said, the old battery was not the original one (616-0432), I saw after I've opened the phone. How do I know which battery model is good for my iPhone?
2. How can I start the iPhone without battery? I want only to recover the photos, I don't want to use the phone any more.
Thank you for any advice, tips, help.
It is probably best to just use the battery with it on charge, yes it will get hot cause its aged over the years as they don't make new batteries for the 3GS, so I think it would be okay to just keep it on charge while you take off your photos/videos etc with itunes.

I forgot to mention that when I saw that the battery goes down very fast from 15%, I've connected immediately the charger. The charging sign appeared but even so, the battery discharged in less than one minute (I saw when it was at 11% and then 8% and then died).
My feeling it was like the phone drain the battery very very fast and the charger had no effect. Couldn't charge it.
So, you say to try again with a new battery. To connect immediately the phone to the itunes and to hope that in 1-2 min I will succeed copying the photos until the phone dies again.

I know this post is almost 3 years old, but have you tried with a fast/quick/high-speed charger?
