Dropped Galaxy S7 - blue/purple and unresponsive screen at the bottom

[Android Central Question]

I accidentally dropped my phone, and it landed on the bottom left corner and cracked. When it is locked there is a bright purple line as well as some blue at the bottom where it landed, and when i open the phone the purple lines spread across the bottom of the screen and fades to dark green. The screen is unresponsive at the bottom of the screen only, which means I'm not able click "OK" to unlock the phone. The blue in the corner have now started to spread across the entire screen. I guess getting a repair would be really expensive, especially in my country. Is there anything I can do, or is this a lost cause?

Your only long term option would be a screen replacement. In the mean time, you may be able to plug in a mouse to it to interact with the lower part of the screen. Just keep in mind it's only going to get worse, not better.

I highly recommend getting a keyboard or mouse connected so you can unlock the phone and get your information backed up before the entire screen fails. There is no telling how long that screen will continue to work.
