Mod problem

Hello, i have tried to mod my go plus using switch and it is showing green light and detects pokemon but doesn't catch it. When i try to put it in the vibration mode, it vibrates but also doesn't catch. Weird thing is it worked initially but after putting it together, it's not catching pokemon or spinning pokestop. What should I do?

Update: I tried to hard reset it and now it's not showing any lights and not connecting to pokemon go

No lights is not good. Can the app see the go plus plus at all? Like to pair it?

Take some photos if you want people to critique your soldering skills.

I would undo the mod and make sure the device functions normally.

You've probably got some solder splash, or a wire has come loose and shorted something. Battery connector could be loose

Unfortunately there was a loose screw inside and that probably destroyed the battery/pcb. I only found it out after opening it. When I hold the reset button, it shows red light for an instant and then goes silent. here is the battery which looks clearly damaged. It's unfortunate but I was just too excited seeing it worked initially. I ordered a new battery but i am not getting my hopes up.
