How to fix my broken iPhone 4 screen?
I have an iPhone 4, and I don't really know what happened to it, but the screen isn't working properly. I dropped it, but it was fine until a few minutes later, when the screen turned yellowish/greenish and then the phone went black. I can still hear rings from the phone as well as vibrations. When I press the power button, I can kind of see the screen light up a bit, and sometimes the screen turns grey. If I swipe and press where the numbers are for my combinations, I can hear my phone unlock. I can even take pictures, but I can't see anything on the screen. This happened maybe 6 - 7 hours ago. I tried connecting it to my computer, but I don't know how to restore it on iTunes. It also says that the DCIM folder is empty, even when I unlocked my phone. I have already tried turning it off, even the one where you hold the power and the home button at the same time. Nothing worked. Please please help! I really need my phone, and getting a new one is not even in the question… Is there any way I can fix this?
You can get your phone repaired at a local phone repair shop. If it's just the screen, it'll cost you about $100.
There's nothing you can do to fix it yourself.
I wouldn't do it by yourself, you could completely break your phone. Take it to a phone shop they'll sort it out.
- When apple replaces a broken iphone, do you get to keep the old broken one? The back camera on my iPhone 4s broke (just stopped working), so I called Apple and I have an appointment set up to replace the old phone with a brand new one. But, I want to know if when they give me the new phone, will they let me keep the old one? The phone still works fine except for the camera. In fact, it's almost perfect. And obviously I want to sell the old one on ebay to make a boat load.

- If I buy a iPhone with a broken screen and I repair the screen will it turn on still locked and be unusable? I'm thinking about buying broken iPhones and repairing their screens to resell them but how do I know if I buy a phone that won't turn on that once I fix the screen and it does turn on that it won't be locked from the previous owner and be unusable? Can they then be completely reset to be able to be re sold?
