What is your iPhone screen doing?
Tap the one that looks like yours. Each page tells you what's most likely behind it, what you can safely try yourself, and when it's worth bringing in — sometimes the answer is not a new screen.

Screenshot test
See a line or a patch? Take a screenshot and open it on another device. If the fault is in the screenshot it's software; if the screenshot is clean, it's the hardware.
Force restart
A frozen phone can look like a dead screen. On iPhone 8 and later: volume up, volume down, then hold the side button until the logo shows.
Peel the protector
Lift one corner of the tempered glass. Cracks, ghost touch and call-screen problems are sometimes just the protector.

A black, white or flickering screen isn't always the screen. Our technicians plug in a known-good test screen first. If the problem follows the phone, a new screen won't fix it — and we'll tell you.

Excellent service! I dropped my phone in water and the screen went completely black. I honestly thought it was ruined for good. The team here quickly diagnosed the issue, and cleaned out the water perfectly. My phone works good as new.
