Hmm, sounds like a few possible hardware issues there.  However...

Step 1: Try turning it on and plugging in the wall charger - to find
out if it is working well enough to get charged up.  (In the early
days, there were serious problems if the battery became completely
empty...)

Step 2: Once fully charged, follow the instructions for flashing and
trying out SHR-Testing.
