It's only the display, I suppose. The phone dropped and it doesn't have any visible damage, but when it starts up, there's a green line across the screen and it turns purple, then black. The lights by the home button still light up. Sound is fine, all my alarms decided to go off! :confused: Notification light is there.
When I try to boot it, nothing comes up, just a vibration. Is there something I can do or would I just have to get it repaired?? :(

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'is there something I can do' - you can order a replacement screen assembly and swap the parts yourself; or you can send it off and have someone do it for you.

Here are a couple of sources for replacement screen assemblies (be sure to get the correct colour for your phone)
