Actually, that is not true. Especially for eInk. Breaking a screen substrate (back surface circuitry) does not change the eink pixels until power is applied and the screen contents are changed. So you need to power it on to see if the entire screen changes, or just part of it, or if streaks of pixels change where not intended. A classic symptom is vertical and/or horizontal streaks emanating from an otherwise invisible diagonal crack.
