Options

a new logic board is the last option i would think of.

the first one is measuring the voltage of the battery - shourted batterys can "collapse" and have 0v after that - that would mean that the iphone can't boot nor charge (the iphone's battery must have around 3v to show you any sign of charging)

another possible problem could be that a fuse is shot - the iphone's charging circuit has a fuse - that could have been shot while you shorted the contacts

and i think that the usb port can also have a fuse - so i would try if other devices work properly on that specific usb port.

replacing the battery shouldn't be the biggest problem (you can use a guide for that) but replacing the tiny fuse - well, that involves soldering with a special soldering iron and should be done by a professional (and by that i don't think about any apple genius)
