My iPhone fell, and now won't power up

One day I was using my iPhone and it fell and suddenly the screen went blank.

I went to see what the problem was, the phone repairman didn't have any idea saying that he was trying to restore it but it was saying error every time so I brought the phone home.

I was trying to turn it on nothing came up ugh.... Any ways, I tried to plugged it in then the Apple logo come up then it says that I should restore on iTunes then when I plugged it out it goes off then and I tired turning it on nothing I'm getting so frustrated with this phone!

Is the screen lighting up when you turn it on or connect it to a computer or charger? If it is dark, can you see a dim image when you shine a bright light on the screen?

Because of the drop, the damage could be to either the screen or the logic board. You don't say for certain but I will assume that the repair technician tried a replacement screen and that didn't work. If that is the case, then the issue would be on the logic board. After a hard drop (or many), some of the solder connections can crack and cause issues. This is probably what happened here. The only way to fix this is via a micro-soldering repair but this may not be worthwhile for an older device like the iPhone 5S.
