The other option other than a bad battery is that the charging port has gone bad and no longer charges the battery. It can be hard to tell if it is the battery or the charging port, one good way to check is to plug in the device if it doesn’t turn on while plugged in it is the charging port. There is not much of a way to fix the device at home as it is attached directly to the motherboard.
You turn on the device but there is no video being shown on it.
If the front screen is cracked or if it no longer displays anything more than a black screen the chances are you will need to fix your digitizer. This is the cover over the screen and connects into the device internally.
You attempt to use the front facing camera but nothing happens when you use it.
If the camera is not working then you would have to try and reconnect the camera to see if some of the wires got loose, if this is not the case then replacing the camera will be the next step.
