Restoring photos from broken Nokia Asha 300

Hi.

I have old broken phone Nokia Asha 300: https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_asha_300-4279.php
It does not start - when I press the power button (the red one) nothing happens. Charging it using an USB cable plugged into a laptop also does not work. However, my goal is not to turn on this phone, but to somehow restore photos written on its hard drive. I disassembled it to get access to the motherboard, but I cannot figure out where the internal memory is located and how to get access to it. I send pictures of the motherboard as attachments:
1) my original photo
2) the photo with names of the elements I was able to recognize

My questions are:
1. Where can I find the internal memory on that motherboard?
2. Is there any way to get access to data stored on it externally, without starting the phone?

I am a kind of noob in this topics, so any help will be appreciated.

The memory appears to be the K5 IC on page 20.

Note this phone won't turn on without working and at least a little bit charged battery even with charger attached. So first thing you should do is to check if there is actually voltage on its terminals. As of reading the data without making the phone to turn on, forget about it.
wraper:
Also I'm not 100% sure but its micro USB port is likely for data only and cannot be used for charging similar to other Nokia phones from that time.

Connect the battery and charge it by connecting the adapter according to the picture (the minus is connected to the ground, check it).
