Replaced battery but won't charge

Replaced battery but won't charge Recently I replaced my iPhone 4s battery using the steps provided in this site. After I was finished reassembling the phone I plugged it in to charge. The Apple logo will appear as if it is restarting normally. But it will only appear for 4-5 seconds before it disappears. It repeats coming and going about every 4-5 seconds. Any suggestions.

This is a problem with ALL Lithium ion batteries... if they have sat on the shelf too long and become completely discharged, it will be very difficult to put a charge on it. Lithium ion batteries should not be completely discharged. I have the same problem now with my iphone 4s - replaced the battery and apple logo is flashing. Tried to restore the iphone but I get an error 21 in iTunes. The problem is during restart of the phone during the restore process - because the battery is completely discharged, the phone shuts off momentarily instead of restarting. That is why itunes fails on the restore process. Don't fall for the $9 iphone battery trick - the old saying "you get what you pay for"...

I had similar problem, iphone has new original battery. iPhone was not charging, only the small red battery logo, after 1 day on the charger, still nothing. Then the second day, it was full 100% charged and works normally after. i hope you will be lucky too.

The charging USB port may have lint or something blocking your charger. I had the same thing happen with my motorola photon, ands there was some lint in the charging port. The battery would not charge, and agree I cleaned the port out, out works fine now. It took a little time to get all the lint out. You may need a magnifying glass to be able to see inside the charging port/jack.
