Sounds like the LCD pins came loose or you cracked LCD. Take in for repair. You can try doing a hard boot by being at home screen . Hold down power and home button at the same time until phone shuts off.

I'm sorry the original poster's problem wasn't solved, but it did solve a similar problem I had with my 4s.


The only difference was that I was getting no screen, just black. I could hear the phone if it rang or any other alert sounds that would occur, I just couldn't seen any graphics.


The hard boot solved the problem. Thank you Ryanm781!!
