History (facts)

Phone working correctly till screen replace (good battery life)

On replace first time it started ok and it looked perfectly functional

Regrettably I broke the replacement screen too :cowboy:

Second screen took forever to arrive by the time it arrived upon installation the phone was dead

Repair Attempts

Bought a second battery thinking the long period without charge may have affected the orginal battery

Tried using the power + volume up go get 3 buzz

Tried unplugging the battery putting it on the charger

Tried flashing the phone with original firmware/software. AFter complete no errors, however nothing changed. Had the phone on the charger for quite a while (+10 hours)

Tried fastboot mode changing system worked fine, unable to change kernel though error not allowed

Tried soldering the cable under the believe that the tinkerin with the phone may have affected the connectors
