Plug it in to your PC then hold power volume down till you get the iTunes logo then reinstall the software
OP says the phone won't go into recovery or DFU mode.
Is there some technical reason that attaching the phone to a PC will make these modes work when they don't now?
Well, call Apple have them see if they can bring it back to life. It might take a while, but you’ll likely get it working. Not sure if the 5 is still serviceable thou.
I own a phone shop and service
Oh... you’ve got me stumpd here. If you don’t know what it is, very likely I won’t.
I'm not sure if you had the same problem I had, but I brought an iPhone5 back to life that Apple couldn't/wouldn't fix. It was stuck in a boot loop and I read a few things that pointed to a badly depleted battery.
I figured for $20 and 20 minutes of my time, it was worth a try. New battery went in, and it booted right up and I was able to wipe it clean.

I jave tried everything. New battery, charging flex ect ect. Someone told me it could be and U2 IC. Perhaps but i dont have the guts to try changing U2.
Nine months ago I had my iPhone 5 and my wife's iPhone 5 replaced for swelling batteries. I imagine Apple is still servicing them.
According to Apple, the iPhone 5C, 5 and even the venerable 4S are still serviceable.
