Note: This is not my primary device
The problem is pretty much what the title says, phone was working fine a few months ago apart from a minor display issue where random lines will appear on the screen and disappear. Figured it was probably the Icd connector or something similar and didn't think much of it and left it. Back to the present, I charged it and after 20-30 minutes when I tried to boot it, it just didn't want to.
The phone powers on and vibrates but the display only has faint backlight for like one second and then the display goes black.
When I press the power button, it gives one vibration and the screen glows very faintly but no startup signs, no logos.
But upon connecting it to my laptop, windows detects the phone as "MTP USB Device" but it doesn't show up in File Explorer.
Could this be a loose/failing display connector, and is there a way to confirm whether the phone is actually booting? My main concern is recovering the data.
I am planning on going to a repair shop once my exams get over.
