No power after flash

I flashed the factory binary to my S8+, and instead of the phone rebooting after the flash, it won't boot. I think I may have had G955W firmware on it, and flashed a G955U factory binary. The phone doesn't do anything when I hold the power button, the LED doesn't light up, no vibration, and won't boot into download, or recovery mode. If I try to do soft reset, or enter download mode, the phone will briefly flash a white line or two, but that's it.

Anything I can try to do to fix it, or is it useless now?

flashing the binaries shouldn't really hurt anything unless something happened while flashing parts of the bootloader. Maybe take the back off and disconnect the battery for a few minutes

I'm not sure what happened really. The flash went through fine in odin. After the flash passed, instead of the phone rebooting like normal, it just shut off and wouldn't turn back on. Doesn't holding power and vol down do the same as removing and reinserting the battery?

I went ahead and unplugged the battery for about 5 minutes, but no change. I also put the phone on my wireless charger instead of the cable. Still won't turn on.
