Why won't my Droid Mini screen turn on?

My Droid Mini screen won't turn on!

So I have tried everything I could, but it won't work. The screen won't turn on, but the buttons light up every time I press the power button, so clearly there is no water damage.

Welcome to Android Central! The screen probably failed. Why do you mention water damage? Was there water exposure? Water damage can be unpredictable--it doesn't necessarily affect every single system. So it could still be water damage, if there was exposure. The bottom line is that you'd have to bring the phone to a repair shop.

I found my answer on the VerizoneWireless site. Hold the Power and down-volume together. Suggested time was 20 seconds. This will restart your phone. It worked like a charm for me just now. I was afraid, as the other users reference "reset", but it just restarts it, so no fear of losing data/apps.
