Alcate Idol 4s (6070K) boot loop

My Alcatel Idol 4s is in continuous boo loop, it does not get into recovery mode, it is not detectable by the PC and it does not switch off with the power (on/off) button if it is connected to the PC or the charger. any suggestions on how to get it out of this loop?

In my research I read a comment that a misbehaving battery could be the cause and replacing the battery will solve the problem. Does this make any sense?
