I installed the new battery, still won't power up. There must be something wrong other than the battery. AS for the correct answer button I don't see it

Remove the battery and charger. Hold the power button for 10 seconds. Replace the battery and try to power it on.

Or

Try the new battery and then pressing the Volume Down and Power Buttons at the same time to see if it powers on.

If you plug it in and it gets warm that would indicate that a charge is running through it.

Ok, did you try slow charging via a PC USB port?

I'd say that there is a good chance that the screen is just shot at this point. It can happen. The phone is 5+ years old.

Is there a way to tell if the screen is the problem?

Short of having it replaced? Probably not.

One more time... did you try slow-charging the battery with a Personal Computer's USB port (something low current, i.e. 500mA).
