phone is on but screen is black

My dog knocked my phone out of my truck and when the phone hit the pavement it cracked the front screen. The phone is still on but the screen is black. I can hear when someone texts me but I cant make the screen come on. I have tried restarting it by hitting the power button, power +volume+ home buttons, and power+volume button and the only sign of life on the screen is the little light in the top left corner indicating I have texts, emails, etc. Am I going to have to replace the entire screen?

I would recommend replacing the whole display. The LCD in a display by itself usually is not much cheaper than the whole display. Sometimes it's hard to find only the LCD alone. Also are you sure the digitizer wasn't damaged? The digitizer sits between the glass and the LCD and controls touch function. If you are unsure if the digitizer is damaged then your best bet would be to replace it all. Also replacing the whole display is way easier then trying to separate the parts of a touch screen display. Especially if your glass is cracked badly.

They can technically be separated, but honestly if you are going to replace the display they almost always come with new glass. They are glued together so you shouldn't have a problem finding both together ready for installation.

It is better and easier to replace the whole screen replacement. The lcd screen, touch screen and front glass are already bonded together tightly by strong adhesive, so it is hard to separate any one of them just by DIY repair work. Though it is still possible to do that, you may damage the lcd screen or touch screen during the process.
