Help! My phone is glitchy and ghost clicking everywhere!

So I dropped my phone and ever since then, it is super unresponsive. Every time I click, a ton of random apps open and close and it makes my phone nearly impossible to use. I've tried resetting it. I'm going to try a factory restore but if that doesn't work, is there anything I can do to fix it? I'm a broke college student so I only want to take it in for a repair as a last resort. How much do you think it would cost if I did have to take it in?

Thank you!

Use this iFixit guide to disconnect then reseat the display cables.

If the above does not help, then you need a new screen assembly.

That same guide has links to the needed parts and tools. iFixit sell excellent quality screens in a kit complete with the right tools that allow you to attempt the repair yourself. Otherwise, depending on the quality of the parts used and price policy of the repair shop, replacing the screen should cost you something between $65 up to $109+tax if you go to an Apple Store.

Don't buy a cheap screen from eBay or Amazon. This will end up costing you more that buying a good quality part from reputed sellers that stand behind their product with a solid warranty. If you receive a defective part, and have to repeat the process a couple of times, that's double the risk of damaging something in your phone since every time you disassemble your iPhone (or have it disassembled), you risk damaging something - may be permanently. Take if from someone who does this for a living.

Good luck!
