If you have apple care or your 5S is less than a year old take it to apple and get a new one. The power button being broken is a hardware issue. Same thing happened to my 5.
That was definitely not an option bc I don't do backups frequently (my bad). Anyways after my battery died (11 hours later) I plugged in the charger and it turned on (thanks god lol)
got stuck at apple logo with progress bar after i tried to upgrade... my power button is broken so I can't do a hard reset :) now i have to wait until my battery drains out (it happened when i had 100% battery) so I can use my phone again. YAY
Nope, i wasn't jailbroken. After 11 hours of waiting my battery finally died and after I plugged it in it turned on normally..... 11 hours... At least now I know my battery is working just fine lol
