NO, I'm not sure at all lol.

The battery is the most likely thing to have failed (I'm assuming you've tried a known good charger and cable), but it's by no means definitely what's wrong or the only thing that's wrong.

What you should buy to fix this is a new phone.

Because it's 9 years old...

Welcome as a new member. :)

The only way to be sure of what is wrong would be to put it into the hands of a repairer, which would cost money. Any repairs or replacement parts would then cost more money. Since the phone is old, further failures thereafter could reasonably be expected. It’s a calculated gamble and you have to decide whether it’s worthwhile.

Welcome to Android Central! Plug it into a wall outlet and let it charge for at least 6 hours undisturbed. Then press and hold Power for about 30 seconds. If nothing happens, wait a minute and then press and hold Power again for about 30 seconds. If still nothing happens, then as mentioned above, either the battery failed or the motherboard failed. Either way, it's time for the repair shop.

The fact nothing comes on the screen yet the flashlight lights up has me thinking the logic board failed. If I'm correct fixing it would result in all data on the device lost.

As suggested above about the only thing you can do is leave it on a charger for a long period of time and hope it takes a charge.
