try to do a force restart.

  • press volume up button once and let go
  • press volume down button once and let go
  • press and hold the side/power button until you see apple logo (this might take a while)

if issue still persists, try plugging it into a laptop. if your laptop prompts anything (example "trust this device?") but screen still blank, most probably a hardware issue and requires service, you have to change the display
