If you can't charge it up. it's worthless to you. Get into it and repair it!

It turns on now but the port is bad it has to charge in a position

Either charger port needs to be cleaned or the port needs to be replaced.

Since the port is soldered to the board it'll need to be taken to someone that can replace the port.

@toothyhtf123 okay so you got a whole bunch of things going on here. First your screen needs to be replaced, second your port needs to be replaced. For that you will need to get a new lightning connector flex cable. It requires to be soldered to the logic board. So you will need to know how to solder some pretty thin stuff etc., (consider using a microsolder specialist for that work). Third I would recommend that you also replace the battery. It is possible that since this battery have been drained for a long time, it will no longer hold a sufficient charge. Since you are already doing a bunch or repairs, might as well replace it now.

For the lightning connector which is soldered to the board:

and the battery
