@lmj09 from your description alone this sounds like a broken LCD. Post some images of what your screen shows so we can see what you see. Use this guide for that Adding images to an existing question

Update (05/19/2018)

@lmj09 you can get a cheap dispaly assembly on ebay or amazon for around $30USD or a high quality one on ifixit for a bit more Galaxy J3 (2016) Screen

All of it would be better than to just "trash" you phone! This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSRIwdJZ... should help with the repair.

It is possibly something else my lcd isn’t broken I just replace the lcd and digitizer came on good and after about 5 minutes has a 1/4 inch black line straight up the middle from the home button to the speaker. I’m getting ready to open back up to check all the connections are snug.
