dropped samsung s4 mini

s4 mini being dropped. the screen has shattered and wont power up. the two lights on the lower left and right of the screen light up and nothing else. when plugged in to a computer the computer still detects the phone, so the phone itself is powering on.

Hello. Welcome to Android Central.

Sorry to hear that.

Just save everything you can via usb, at least you can do that. DCIM for photos, etc. Backup with Kies if you plan to repair or replace with the same.

We can't offer any physical repair guidance here. You have to weigh up a repair estimate against a new model.
@Rukbat here would recommend two quotes, from an official repair store and a smaller shop.
