Hey there!


Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. Have you tried different cables to get it to power on? With the lock button not working, that would prevent you from trying a hard reset by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake button at the same time for about ten seconds.


If that doesn't work, it's very possible it's hardware.
