So I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and I accidentally dropped it (about 1 foot) and it landed flat on its face.

The screen didn't break but it won't turn on. Notification light is blue when not being charged and red when being charged. The sensor buttons next to home button won't turn on either. Sometimes the blue light just keeps on flashing.

Could it be the LCD screen or motherboard that I need to replace?
...I want to fix it myself
