I had a problem similar to this. T-mobile had me back up all my contacts to the SIM card. Make sure that your memory card (if you have one) is out of the phone. You have to do a master reset. You want to go to Start>Accessories>Clear Storage. Follow all the prompts. It will take a little while but it basically reinstalls everything to factory presets including any backrounds. You will have to reset myfaves if you have that plan, but this does work. 5  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

How are you supposed to go "anywhere" if you can't see anything on the screen to begin with??

You're display is probably broken then. We are all hear trying to offer solutions and share experiences. Don't kill the messenger! No need to get attitude.
