iPhone 6 plus no power at all
I have an iPhone 6 plus phone that was not used for 6+ months. It was on, battery likely drained and then left for those 6+ months unused.
I recently tried turning it on and unfortunately got no signs of life. It is dead. I suspected the battery as some research seemed to point that batteries draining completely and then being unused can cause damage. I tested it with a multi-meter and it pretty much had 0v.
So I bought a new battery off eBay for really cheap (£5). It arrived after a few days, but unfortunately has not solved the issue. The phone remains dead.
The battery I bought reads 0.5V on the multi-meter. This seems quite odd. Is it meant to be that low? The battery is rated for 3.82V.
I also measured the voltage at the battery connector with just the charger plugged in. It reads a constant 0.8V. This also seems odd.
What am I dealing with here? Is it a battery problem, or something else?
