Hello everyone, not sure if this is the right place but i need any advice or help possible. So i have an old Samsung Galaxy S4 i used 2-3 years ago but then one day it died on me suddenly, back then i didn't care and just got a new phone and never tried fixing it, but starting from a couple of months ago i remembered i have some really important pictures on there that i would want to get back and now here's the issue. Let's say the phone hasn't been touched in 3 months, i plug it into a charger, the screen turns on and i just see the battery logo with a stuck loading circle inside the battery and the weirder part is that if i then unplug the phone and plug it back in again, it won't turn on whatsoever. And so then i leave it to rest for 1-2 weeks and then it again reacts once to the charger prompting up the battery but again if i unplug and plug it back in it won't react at all. I have taken it to a repair shop a few months ago and they told me they can fix it but for a hefty price considering what kind of phone it is so now my idea is going to be to replace the battery (btw i have already replaced the battery due to the stock one becoming very bloated) but i have just wanted to get some advice on if that will actually fix it because i don't wanna waste money on a new battery just to have to take it back to the repair shop.
If anyone has any advice or ideas i can try please let me know and thank you.
