iTunes restore?

Our Mac won’t recognize it. I’ve had it plugged into a charger for a while. The computer won’t recognize it and it won’t ever show it is charging.

Attempt to clean out the port like the LSUtigerME says, it's incredibly common. If not plug the phone into an outlet and hold the power and volume down buttons for about 15 seconds to attempt to reset the pmc of the phone. If that doesn't work take the phone into an apple store or authorized service provider to do whats called the icc test (to measure the current going into the phone) and to see if the phone is able to turn back on.

Edit: also ensure you try multiple cables to exclude the cable as the source of the charging issues.

In an apple store, apple doesn’t replace the logic board, if the phone is that far gone they can replace it with what’s called a service replacement which is a brand new iPhone, straight from the factory with no accessories or let you decide if you want to upgrade to a new phone. Service replacement iPhone 7 should cost around $319 and has a 90 day warranty, a newly purchased phone has a year warranty and can have AppleCare added additionally.

Yeah tried all that. It just won’t come on. Wife is more upset that she lost pics. I may take it to apple and see if they can get anything off of it. Doubt it though. She’s horrible about backing up. I bought new phones last night and when I went to set hers up from iCloud the last backup was in 2017. And I think that was the phone before this last one. Any chance they can access the memory on it? Not sure how that would work.
