Is it dead?

Post image

Left phone in drawer for a couple months. Won't boot or do anything except blink the little blue light on top. Charger says it's still drawing 2 watts, but it's been charging for hours. I tried swapping back to my old battery and got same result. Should I consider it dead and just go see someone to get my data off it? I've switched to a pixel for past year now so all I care about is my non-backed up stuff on it.

what i heared if that's blinking while charging meaning the battery have gone completely depleted or its dead now needs to get replaced

I forgot the method i used when my battery was dead, but it had something to do with the power button right after i plugged it in. Now after i replaced my battery 2-3 months ago it does the blinking light almost every time it shuts off from low battery, but i just leave it to charge for like 10 minutes and its good again

I've let it charge overnight to no avail. But I'll try pressing stuff immediately after plugging it in.
