So I dropped my iPhone and the screen suddenly went black but it's still on. I cant turn it off cause my power button isn't working. I tried opening the back and pushing the LCD connector thing but it didn't work. I want to restore it so I connected it to iTunes but my phone has a code and I have to allow iTunes to access my phone so I can't do it cause the screen is black. I dont want to get it repaired somewhere because it has super private files in it that I intended to erase but didn't get a chance to because it suddenly turned black. I need help like seriously.
