My galaxy s5 won't turn on

So my phone was messing up real bad the screen was black but could still see the top bar. So as usual I take my battery out put it back in and now it won't turn back on it's not making any noise or vibrating. I'm not sure what to do

Re: My galaxy s5 won't turn on

Welcome to Android Central! Plug it into a wall outlet and charge it for at least 4 hours without disturbing it. Then try powering on again. You might have to press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds.

Do you feel it vibrate and hear sounds, but the screen doesn't light up? In that case, the screen probably failed, and needs to be replaced.

If nothing happens at all, it's possible the battery failed--can you try a new or different one? If a new battery doesn't work, then I'd be more concerned about a motherboard issue.
