Sounds like classic pry damage to me.

You can order the components for the pry damage area from Alibaba and give it a DIY try, or send it out for straightforward microsoldering job.

First check the chips underneath the battery connector, because they are responsible for the Power- and Homebutton. If one of the very small chips is brocken, the phone is useless.
