Camera was dropped
To eliminate the chance of the screen actually being damaged due to the camera being dropped, here's a little test you can do? Click on the MENU button and scroll to the 5th icon, the first setting you should see is LCD Brightness. Look at the scale and make sure the little top white arrow is in the middle, that setting should give you a normal brightness for the screen, if it is towards the left side that would dim your screen, move it to the middle using the side buttons around the main SET button. If the little white arrow is already set in the middle, then you screen might be damaged after all? Theres not other setting for the LCD brightness other than that one.
As for it not shutting off, do you mean the camera doesn't shut off or the screen doesn't shut off after a few minutes?

You have to set the camera to "Live View" mode. Check your manual for settings.
BTW, it's usually a bad idea to use Live View mode unless the camera is on a tripod. With Live View you have to hold the camera out in front of you and it's much less steady.

You must be in P, Tv, Av, M, or the A-DEP modes.
Enable Live View in the camera’s Menu.
On the second set-up menu screen go to “Live View function settings” then "Live View Shoot"-> enable.
After this all you need to do is press the Set button.

Actually what I found to solve the problem was to first set the lens in "MF" and practice taking a picture manually to see if that would work. When I did this, I discovered that the fine tuning portion of the lens was somehow stuck mechanically. I heard a loud click as I turned it. That was all it took to fix the focusing mechanism on the lens. Then I set to "AF" and Voila, the camera worked just fine.

Yes. That will reset it to it's factory settings.
