See if you can get an ultrasonic cleaner (or at least borrow one), and try cleaning the logic board that way (though note you want to remove all of the nonsoldered shields). If it still doesn't start then check the other parts over for damage; if you see no obvious damage, the phone may be toast if you can't clean the connectors without a new logic board (and a paired TouchID button), which will also disable True Tone. If you want to preserve TrueTone, you need to do a board repair.

For older models like the 8 and X series (X/R/S), it's usually the end of the line when LD kills these. Time to move to a newer phone like an 11 or 12, if you can afford it otherwise 4G models are cheap now because we don't want them when we can buy a 12 or 13 for cheap compared to new.
