Hello everyone,
So my friend borrowed my phone to take a selfie and returned it shortly afterwards(im giving this info because i cant say if it shut down while my friend was using it or while it was in ny pocket). I just put it in my pocket and after about 20 minutes i wanted to see the time and it wouldnt turn on.
I tried pressing only the power button and nothing, i tried power + vol+ it didnt work, waited to get home to recharge, put it on my charger and no led no nothing.

I am just wondering what could be the problem and is there a way to fix it? Is it the battery? Im asking to see if it is worth to spend money to repair it as i bought a new phone.

Also the water damage indicator on the back is pink but i have never exposed it to water. (That has been pink for over a month before it died).

Thanks for the reply :) I understand everything i have to do. Its just that this is my first time dealing with a hard brick and didnt know whether i could fix this myself or i should take it to repairs.
I have tried this method about a week ago and the led wouldnt glow and the phone wouldnt turn on. I have read now that i should charge it for 16+ hours and then try again.(first red LED then try)
Currently my laptop is in repairs, as soon as i get it back ill try the charging for 16+h method and the rubber band method.
I have root and unlocked bootloader so i dont have anything to worry about right?
