Given: phone will neither charge nor fully power on. (Tries to if you force it, but stops)

Given: iCloud-related Apple ID for this phone is unknown, but would not be unheard of. We are the legal owners of this phone. If we kne w the Apple ID, we could recover the password.

Given: the phone worked properly before getting stuck in this condition.

Assumption: we know the screen pass code for this phone, if one was set.

Now, the question: If I were to remove the battery and install a new battery, and the phone then booted fully, would I need any more than the screen lock pass code to re-enter the phone? Would the R&R of the battery do a deeper lockout of the phone, or would it be the same as swapping out a dead laptop battery?

Battery replacement shouldn't lock you out of the phone. To get back in you should just need the password to the lock screen. :)

Yeah, what Ms. Mercedes said. It’s just like letting the battery completely die, recharging the phone, then starting it up again.

That’s what I would hope. The phone hasn’t much monetary value, but there are victims of the huge Camp Fire up in Butte County who could use the phone and I’d be happy to see it continue service rather than become ewaste.

It is! I'm still hitting strides and I'm gearing up for making 2019 even better than 2018! :)

Hopefully, that means 2018 was good.
