My Samsung Galaxy S5 won't turn on with a fully charged battery...

Recently I have broken my S5 charging port, there is no other way but to fix it with a professional. I did not want that since the prices were quite high for my liking. So first what I did was, I used eo charge my phone with a standard micro ish wire but instead of the top there is the red and black wire exposed so I could hook it up to the pins on the back of my phone. This worked perfectly fine and there were no problems until when I hooked it up again, the light at the top left went green and the speakers started to make static noises (remember this as it may have to do with it not turning on). After this happened I decided to buy an external battery charger and another battery (spare one) online. I received the package, I waited the for the battery to charge, put it in my phone and to have a huge surprise of it not working. Now I'm not sure if it was because of the incident from before where the light turned green (which I think it is) or its just the external battery charger not working.
If anyone has any solutions please help me.
Thanks.
 
Has it ever worked since you had that incident with the wires, lights and speakers? Because if you connected the charging current to the wrong thing that may well explain it not working.

No it hasn't worked, it won't turn on completely. And it may be that it was connected to the wrong thing.
 
One of the reasons I think it doesn't work is because the 2 pins right next to the battery, but I am not 100% sure...

Update: When I hold the power button it makes a very quiet ticking noise and sometimes a quiet beep too.
If there are any solutions please tell me, thank you.

I see is there any solution to this or do I have to just take it to a technician?

Diagnosis at long distance is always tricky, but I think you have damaged the phone and the choices are repair it or replace it.

And just to warn you, it may be that the repair will mean replacing the motherboard, which will be expensive and you will lose any data that were on the phone and not backed up. We don't know what is damaged, but there are several components where that would be the only realistic solution.
