How to hard reset iPhone SE with bad power button?

Hello I have the original iPhone SE that has a faulty power and also a blinking white screen with the Apple logo that comes on whenever the iPhone is either restarted or powered off and turned on. The only way to get the iPhone to come on once the blinking screen shows is to plug in the charger but if I’m out I don’t have the charger with me and the iPhone can’t be turned on. I read to do a hard reset which involves holding down the power button along with another button but the power button on this iPhone is also faulty, I’m using assistive touch right now to take screenshots because of the faulty power button. So is there anyway to hard reset an iPhone with a bad power button? Or a way to get rid of the blinking screen on startup without having to plug in the charger?

iPhone SE, iOS 14
