User level: Level 1 (4 points)I have done for force restart on my phone in the correct sequence and it is still not turning on at all. I’ve done the charging for an hour then quickly tap the up volume, bottom one and then the on/off button for 30 seconds. Nothing is working.

Then you likely have a hardware failure, which means you need to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar for evaluation and service options/costs --> Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

Let’s make sure you are doing it correctly:
The operative word here is QUICKLY for the first two buttons, then a long hold for the SIDE button; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky. If done correctly this will always work unless the phone has a hardware problem, as lobsterghost1 suggested.
