Other than cleaning and restart matters, the contact of water and accretion of dust and other particles are also causes of screen unresponsiveness.

So, now you have to work on solving the matter of iPhones’ screen. Remove the screen guard of your iPhone as it might be hindering the screen from working properly. If that doesn’t solve your issue then follow the steps given below:

  • Clean the screen with the soft and damp cloth used for cleaning glasses as dust can also be the prime reason for obstructing the screen from working.
  • Resume your instrument by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button till the red slider seems. Shift the slider to turn your iPhone fully off. Later when the device goes off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button another time until you see the Apple sign.
  • If restarting your device doesn’t help then, force restart. Press and hold together the Sleep/Wake and Home keys for a minimum of ten seconds, until you see the Apple sign.
  • If force resuming of the instrument does not work then, try restoring all the previous factory settings by default. Restoring factory settings will erase all your data from the iPhone, so it is better to save all your files on your desktop with the help of USB cable.
  • If iTunes doesn’t identify your phone, then use recovery mode to restore the iPhone.Attach your iPhone with PC and open iTunes. Hold Home Key till you see connect to iTunes screen.
    Once your iPhone is linked, iTunes will open, and the next message is saying that iTunes has identified an iPhone in recovery mode will appear on the screen. If you have jibed your iPhone with iTunes, you will be capable of restoring your data and files from the back-up by:
