If pixels are discolored, not showing, or the screen is cracked it is possible the display is bad and must be replaced. Make sure you charge your device, and turn it off and on to make sure the problem is screen related. Follow the Screen Replacement guide if you are still having screen problems. If the screen does work but is unresponsive, the digitizer may be broken/disconnected.
Make sure the device is getting power and the battery is working properly. If the battery is bad or replacing the battery does not fix the device it is possible the motherboard needs to be replaced. To remove the motherboard, follow the Motherboard Replacement guide.
