What to do with undamaged but nonworking iPhone?
What should I do with my abandoned iPhone which, although having no physical damage, cannot be turned on? (iTunes diagnostic procedure reports "unspecified hardware failure.") Is it not worth the risk to sell it for parts or a "do-it-yourself repair guru" since I have no reliable way to erase its contents? In iCloud I have set it to erase contents "the next time it connects to the Internet" but there's no way to know if that will ever happen.
iPhone 5s, iOS 11.2
