IPad mini touch screen borders not responding

My ipad mini touch screen borders aren't responding and I tried rebooting by holding the sleep and wake button,please help me.

Hey there EMB08,
It sounds like you have noticed that the edges of your screen aren't responding to touch. You should use these steps to help troubleshoot the issue or seek service if needed:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
Additional Information
Tip: To isolate an issue related to a portion of the Multi-Touch display, follow these steps:
Open the Maps application and double-tap each corner, then the center, to verify that it zooms in to each section.
If a specific area is affected in another application, note the location and try to verify touch functionality for that location in the Maps application.
On iPhone and iPod touch, you can also use Calculator:
Open the calculator app to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the device to change to the scientific calculator and press the buttons in the left or right two rows.
When speaking with a Mac Genius or Service Provider, you can use this information to assist with evaluation of your issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

    My  IPAD Mini touch screen is not responding, it is showing a message icloudBackup but the back up is not happening and the system seems to be hanged?

    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • HT4623 My iPad mini's screen is not responding to any touch.

    Tonight when I turned on my iPad mini, it booted up like normal but the screen won't do anything when I touch it to unlock it or try to do anything else.  The buttons work but I can't do anything else.  Could it be because the operating system needs to be updated or could it be another related issue?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if it works ok after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iPad mini's screen is not responding. But the home and other buttons are still working. It was just working fine yesterday. Is there anything I can do to make it work?

    Please, I need help..

    Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • My iPad 2 Touch screen is not responding

    I have reset it many times and restored it to its factory settings, and pressed the home and power keys countless times, and have also let the battery completely run out which has taken a month as i cannot use any features on it due to lack of touchscreen and just had to wait for standby to run out.
    iv taken it to an apple store and they said they cant help because its out of warrenty, can anyone out there help me?

    I have been able to fix it by pressing and holding down the home botton at the same time with the on/off botton for a while and then the apple logo came up and it rebooted.
    I got the tip from some other discussion while I was browsing and waiting for a tip on mine.
    Thanks to those who put up the answer.

  • With ios 8.3 ipad mini apps sometimes do not respond when touched

    a new problem occurred with ios 8.3 ipad mini applications sometimes do not respond when touched Fix it in ios 8.4

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and then see if your touch screen is back.

  • My apple iPad touch screen is not responding

    My apple ipad touch screen is not responding it was working since few hours then that happened. There is no a single point on the responds to touch but everything is working on the welcome screen, detects  the Wi-Fi ... etc.
    First thing I did was passing on my local agent store. They did a soft reset what caused lose all data and apps (not a problem) but they didn't fix and asked to visit the support branch .. now i can't use the "Siri trick" and I think it's not helpful after resetting my device.
    I tried removing the screen protector but still no hope. Turned off it and cleaned the screen  but didn't help!!
    Is There another way? Any expected scenarios/time when I visit the repair branch in Egypt?
    I've upgraded to latest (7.12) 2 or 3 weeks ago

    Thanks ..
    I've mentioned that I did that now I'm in another stage, The iPad at the main reseller support department and they told me now that they will give me another in return .... the strange thing I have heard was that I have to wait 4 weeks until they get me one from Apple .. I'm i Egypt

  • Portion of my iphone touch screen is not responding

    Portion of the iphone touch screen is not responding while typing (both horizontal and vertical). All other functions are O.K.  Is it LCD problem or any calibration problem ?  Some experts says the LCD screen is to be replaced ?

    basic troubleshooting steps from the User Guide are restart, reset and restore.  Have any of these been tried?

  • My phone freezes and the touch screen does not respond to my touch.

    My i-phone 4 has been freezing up on me as of late.  The buttons will still work but the touch screen does not respond to my touch.
    Is my phone hooped or can I do sometinhg to fix it?

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.
