My screen goes black after startup

So I just got my phone back from a friend that had it for about a year

I went to turn it on and everything worked fine right up until after startup

After the logo screens disappear, the screen goes black and I cant see anything. It's not the actual screen because when i hold the power button it shows me the options to power off and whatnot.

I've already tried the hard/factory reset method and it dodnt work.

What else can i do?

It's not a huge deal if theres no fix for this, this phone was just going to be my mp3 player for work but if I cant fix it then I'll just throw it away
