My brother set his iPhone back to 1970 because of his curiosity, then this behavior bricked his iPhone. What's a awkward thing! Then I called him to go to Apple Store for help, because I don't want to disassemble battery cover and make power break. Anybody has some other ways?

Apparently you can keep it switched on until the battery is completely flat.
