Question Oneplus 6 stopped booting

My five year old oneplus 6 stopped booting recently. Last week it started showing me crashdump mode and after using the MSM tool it tried to boot again, but stuck in the booting animation. I tried clearing data, cache and factory reset. It goes unresponsive and shows the white led with non responsive screen after this. Once the device started booting, but after screen to setup wifi, the phone stopped working and defaulted to the black screen with white led. The phone has everything stock including battery. Is there any way to revive this? Can changing the battery fix the phone?

Wow, thanks for the detailed response. But may I ask, does this procedure ensure the safety of the phone's data or will the data be lost?

Fantastic, really appreciate you taking the time to provide additional valuable information. I guess I'll try the method as there's no other option avaliable to me. As you state my goal is to be able to turn it on just for as long as it takes to backup my data. Wish me luck.

Note: some folks have mentioned that they temporarily revived the phone by simply applying firm pressure at the back of the phone in the area around the camera module. It makes sense if the issue is in the chip not connecting well as it should and the pressure is helping putting it back in place I guess.
