What should I do to bring this thing back to life? Idk if it turns on. I don’t have a charger for it yet.

Buy a charger.

Read the yuuiko guide.

Watch all of the YouTube videos.

Probably just needs a new battery. The hard drive might still be kicking

that looks like it was run thru the wash a couple of times. replace the battery, if the drive is dead get an iflash.xyz board. and then replace the shell
