When you hook up to iTunes you are being powered via computer. So it can't be the battery. Doesn't sound good.
You think its a lost cause?

The only two reasons that it would have a "black screen" would be a loose and/or disconnected ribbon or, as you mentioned, it needs a new display panel.
Aside from YouTube... here's an in depth, step by step, how-to showing each connection & screw location when it comes to the disassembly of your iPhone 4. Mind you, it's a tedious process but can be done by anyone w/ the proper tools and a little patience. Installing iPhone 4 Display Assembly Replacement - iFixit

If the LCD was damaged, you can always buy a replacement screen and DIY. A very good website for a step-by-step guide is ifixit.com
The screen replacements can be bought on ebay for 25 USD. They have "OEM" LCD's and I generally have had a lot of success with them. People have said it looks like original after I replaced screens. Again check out the guides on ifixit.com for help on repairing your iPhone is the LCD part is broken.
