iPhone 8 black screen. Home button works.

[Cronos]

Hi folks.

I just dropped my iPhone 8 on a vinyl floor. The screen was a bit cracked prior to this.

Now the screen is black and nothing happens when I press the buttons. The home button responds with a soft "click".

I tried to call myself from a land line, but apparently the phone is off.

Can anyone help me? I'm kind of desperate to recover it's contents....

Have you tried force restarting it?

Force restart iPhone

If iPhone isn’t responding, try forcing it to restart.

Edit: Thanks for the link. Yes, I have tried force restart. Still black screen.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you'll most likely need a display replacement. While pricy, Apple's displays are the best and tend to have the least issues compared to aftermarket displays. Out of warranty repair cost for one, provided there are no other issues with the phone, are $169.

Good luck
