s4 mini SCH-i435 wont boot or go into download mode



Hello! here is what happened-
had my phone plugged into PC one night, screen froze to black and blue light stayed on all night, left it to drain battery to dead because none of the buttons were working, and the blue light would just stay on as long as it had battery

So now it doesn't boot, however when i plug it into my PC, the device manager will make the sound that its connected, and if i try to get into download mode while it's plugged into PC, the device manager will make a device disconnected sound followed by a device connected sound, much like normal when you reboot a device that's plugged in. However, there is no way to access anything related to the phone from PC while it's plugged in.

So is it hard-bricked? I already tried the firmware odin guide to unbrick but without download mode it's useless.
I also tried a new battery and several chargers/charging cables to get it to boot.
I never messed with any firmware settings/cfw or the like, and it just sort of died in the middle of it being idle.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
