I dropped the phone yesterday it cracked in the corner and I tried to turn it back on it vibrated but didn’t turn on and hasn’t made a sound since not sure if the phone is dead or if it’s just needs a new screen
Is this a good question?

@jtm07 "it vibrated but didn’t turn" it will do that with a broken screen. You will have to replace the screen first and then re-evaluate.
Since iFixit does not have a guide for it yet, use something like this video Replacement screens are readily available at plenty of online stores. Just make sure that you get one that is made for your exact phone version.
While you work on your phone, take lots of pictures. Once you are done with it, take those pictures and create a guide for iFixit. That will help the next person that has the same problem as you do. It's easy and fun to create these guides. https://ifixit.com/Guide/new The iFixit community will appreciate this.

@oldturkey03 will fingerprint to unlock the device still work if I change the screen
@jtm07 this is where it get's tricky. It looks like a lot of people have trouble with the Biometric after, but that it is depending on the original screen (Samsung authorized) Of course try to also transfer your old fingerprint sensor flex etc.
