Dropped phone and screen is now discolored and cropped at the bottom?

Hi! I recently dropped my iPhone 4S out of my coat pocket. It went white with vertical grey lines for about 30 minutes. After resetting it with the home and power button, it came back to life, but the screen is exceptionally dark and objects are more "defined." On certain items, especially grey boxes, I can clearly see slight horizontal lines. The screen was flickering, but I turned off auto brightness. The final display issue is that there's a dark grey bar at the bottom of the screen that crops off the title of the apps in my home bar. There's no glass breakage, so trying to understand what parts I need to repair? Is this a true screen replacement or is it possible that a cord is disconnected or loose? What about the dark grey bar? Thanks in advance!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Same happened with my Moto g7 power. Has anyone gotten more than 2 weeks usage out of phone after this happened? I paid my phone bill yesterday, then this happened several hours later. Want to know if anyone's shut off or stopped working altogether?

Sounds like your LCD is dead.

You can try replacing the whole LCD and digitizer assembly.

It means you should take your phone apart and reattach your lcd cables to make sure they are tightly connected. After the drop that maybe popped off your ribbon cables.

@ringalingringa If you replace the display all will be well with your phone . but if it still works enough to get into your phone then I would back everything up just to be safe first

But i didnt back up cause who knows if my phone was going to drop and turn black the next day. Would I still be able to see all my pictures. Im scared. It wasnt a very huge issue and is there any other way to still get all of my pictues if i have not backed them up?
