iPhone 5c not charging or turning on

This all happened after i physically bent the phone. The phone was on and worked perfectly but I realized it wouldn't charge afterwards. considering my phone was jailbroken, i decided to fix it myself. I replaced the battery and the charging port to no avail and have no clue what to do. I am also using a working charger and yes I've held the home an power button for 10 seconds. EDIT: its been detected by iTunes and I'm restoring, still no display though.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Physically bent the iPhone could be the reason it ain't turning on..

If it's detected by iTunes this means it booting up so you must have a display problem

Thinking of an iPhone logic board as a bunch of teeny wires encased in plastic---bending it = popping solder balls from under chips and breaking tiny wire tracks. Bending is the absolute worst thing you can do to a phone. Well, except for a lawnmower. Lawnmower is the worst.

I know it was a pretty stupid way of breaking my phone but just concerned on fixing it xD

When traces are broken inside the pcb you really can't unring that bell. At least not for less than buying a new phone.
