Force restarting a dead phone varies by brand but generally involves holding power and volume buttons. For iPhone, hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until you see the Apple logo. For Android, hold the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for about 10-20 seconds. This should reboot the phone. If these methods don't work, you may need to charge your phone or seek professional help.
