Blu Studio 5C HD screen has gone black

Currently my phone will turn on and off, alarms go off when they should and I hear notifications, but the screen remains black.
I have turned it off and on, and also taking out the battery then restarting it, but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas? Will I have to do a hard factory reset?

Thanks in advance

Any ideas?

None.

Will I have to do a hard factory reset?

A factory reset would be difficult (if not impossible) with a black screen.

I have a SIM card in it. It should be ok (SIM card) if I take it out, right?
I'm obviously clueless when it comes to such stuff.
