Black screen and no sign of life.

Hi all, my iPhone 7 has been in a draw for ages and now I want to repair it. It broke a long time ago and does not power on and gives no sign of life. I have tried everything and I think something inside may be broke. Could anyone help me try and get this thing working again? Cheers

have you tried connecting it to a pc to see if its detected

Yep my PC is not picking up anything when I plug it in.

Make sure that the charging port on the phone is clean. It could be that the device isn't connecting due to dust and debris. Otherwise, it could potentially be an issue with the battery.

I have cleaned out the port but still nothing is working maybe I should try a new battery?

by

@eyebrowsmaster Definitely try a new battery. Especially if the phone hasn't been on for a while.

First, it would help by saying if the phone has any physical damage or not. Second, see if there is any debris in the charging port. Last, try reseating the display connector and the battery connector. I wager the port's full of trash or the battery is shot tho
