A charging problem can come from the cable, adapter, charging port, battery, software, or internal charging circuitry.

Rapid battery drain can result from battery degradation, background processes, software issues, temperature, or hardware problems.
Phone Screen Is Cracked or Not Responding
A damaged display can involve the glass, OLED/LCD panel, digitizer, connector, or other internal components.
Phone Won't Turn On
A no-power condition can have several causes, ranging from a depleted battery to charging faults or internal board damage.
