First off you need to check that its the logic board and not any of the components like dock or battery. Try your board in a friends case or Take the board out, check your connections and while you're there check the output on the battery. Use a multimeter on pins 1+4 should be 3.7mAh for a fully charged battery, but not working at about 2.2? If it's dead then replace it. Usually a battery will give warnings like freezing up, crashing, not holding charge for long.

If your battery is good then you need to check the dock connector for dirt/damaged pins etc that are stopping it from charging or being recognised. replace it or just that flex.

After that it gets a whole lot more tricky..

Jared, I think that pollytintop may refer to the fuses as shown on the pictures at this question Won't turn on after attaching to car charger
