is there any way to turn my phone (galaxy 5) back on or is it totally dead?

[almorale]

my phone was working the night before and was at about 20% battery life. woke up this morning and saw that it was dead. charged it all morning. i tried to turn it on and it didn't vibrate, no led lights and a black screen. but the battery was hot.

Hello and welcome to Android Central almorale!

Check to see if your battery is OK by using the spin test...

Are you able to boot into Recovery Mode and wipe your phone's cache partition as per #1.3 of S5 Update Problems - Dummies Guide

only if i flick the corner harder. i can't do anything. i've tried several different ways to reboot/hard reboot and nothing happens.

If you cannot boot into either normal, recovery or download mode, then it is either a trip to the nearest Samsung Service Point or you could try buying a USB jig and see if that will start it up.
