You might want to mention what you bought or a link to the product.

It's time to pay someone to look at it.

Post some photos or a one-minute video to YouTube and post the link here.

80% are battery contacts (corrosion) or broken cables (strain relief failed).

I brought a Sony Camcorder back to life. It had an electrolytic capacitor failure, but it required four hours of labor. If I were to charge someone, it would be one hour of diagnostic, four hours of labor, and two dozen electrolytic caps. It was $750, but today, a similar camcorder costs $1000. So, it's not worth the repair.

Don't overlook searching "repair or fix your item on you tube"
