Surprises happen always, sometimes you dropped your iPhone to the ground by accidently and then your iPhone screen went black, even though you’ve tried to press the power button and home button to restart your iPhone, still it won’t works, then the reason may be the LCD screen cable connector (which can be called display data connector), when your iPhone hit the floor and the LCD screen cable connector which connected to the motherboard has been loosen.

    I received an iPhone 6s from a white elephant this year. It will turn on but I can only see a black screen with a white stripe down the middle. I think my problem is #4. I’m taking in my iPad for a repair, will they fix it as well?

      The iPhone screen white stripe problem could be some reasons. You should contact their after-sale service for this issue the first time. It could be the screen backlight problem or the disconnection of the screen flex cables.

    Opened up my phone and nothing was broken or disconnected, but the screen is still completely black. I did notice the home button was heating up, though, could that be causing the issue?

      maybe the battery flex inside is misconnected or disconnected. You have to go to the repair shop and tear down the phone, check the connection of the flex cables inside.
