iPhone 5 screen is black but my computer can still see it.

Is my iphone 5 worth fixing? Phone is on and responsive to home and sleep/wake buttons but no display and screen wont respond to touch.

"It is hard to know if a new screen will help you. I'd say it is 50/50. A bad drop can damage the primary touch ic, which a new screen will not solve. But I'd say that about half the time, maybe more, a new screen will solve.

I would stop in at any repair shop and just ask to borrow one for 2 minutes to rule out digitizer ic damage."

"This has happened to me as well I bought a phone with a cracked screen. I replaced the entire display assembly and it works fine for a few days. Now the screen is black. I swapped it with another screen I know is good and did not fix it. I have ordered screens from iphone4parts Siri will function as I'd nothing is wrong. So I assume it's something other than screen but I'm not sure what. I would say the piece the screen plugs into maybe??

Update

Also I can't hard reset in iTunes if I can't set phone to trust computer because the screen doesn't work

Thanks"

Got same thing (I think) apple logo to black screen. Not boot looping. Not restoring.
