Before attempting to replace any of the parts to the device, to avoid damaging the device further(or beyond repair) restart or power off the device then turn it back on. This usually fixes most issues.

You can't get your screen to turn on or light up.

Battery may be too low for the phone to operate. Try to connect your phone to a charger and wait for the phone to turn on. If your phone still does not turn on you may have a faulty charger. Make sure your charger is fully plugged into the wall and properly connected to your phone. If the problem proceeds you may want to try to connect to another charger.

The display screen may be too damaged to display an image. This may be the issue if the screen shows minimal light or remains completely black.

Charger may be broken or not connected completely to the phone. First, make sure the charger is working properly and plugged into a working outlet. If the charger is working correctly, your battery may be damaged and require replacement.

Battery may be broken. Replace with a new battery by taking off the back of the phone, lifting the sides of the battery to take it out, and putting a new battery in. Once you have replaced the battery, try to power the phone on using the power button.

After being certain the battery or charger is not the problem it is possible for the issue to be the charging port itself. If the device gets hot while charging or it takes much longer than usual to charge the battery then the port may be damaged and in need of a replacement.

Check the screen itself to see if there is any residue on it. Grease, and sticky foods can attach themselves to the screen making it difficult for the device to read touch inputs. Try cleaning off the screen with a damp cloth to remove the residue.
