Won't power on and smells burnt after attempting to change the screen
Hello I was changing the screen on an iPhone XS max. Like a dumb *** I forgot to unhook the batteries and now the phone will not turn on and it smells the burnt. I really want to fix this phone as I'm trying to do this to make extra money and this one belongs to someone else. I understand it may take some fine soldering and I'm prepared to do that. I just need help troubleshooting to find exactly what part to change. From what I figured out so far I'm thinking I fried the power ic. Am I even close? Can someone with some expertise in the field please help? I really appreciate any input Thanks and have a great day!

Hello again everyone.
I decided to try the screen on this phone again and guess what. It worked! Everything works as it should. I have no idea what went wrong but this thing smelled bad and would not even power on a week ago. It's just been sitting on the shelf and decided to come back to life. I'm glad I didn't send it off to get the motherboard repaired for $300. Anyway thanks to everyone who did respond to my question

That’s good news! I would go buy a lottery ticket if I were you.

Yes Chris it is very good news since instead of having to pay out of my own pocket to get the lady's phone fixed or buying it from her I ended up making a profit as planned. She was ecstatic and so was I. I may grab a lottery ticket but I think that payment for the repair was my scratch off.
I just wish I knew exactly what happened and why it smelled and wouldn't power on and then decided to work perfectly after sitting for a week. I'm sure if the right person sees this they'll chime in with an answer.
