iphone 5 touch screen has stoped working all of a sudden, help?

Hello there, shankate1993.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with touchscreen response on your iOS device:
If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
Fix your touchscreen
Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:
If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Unplug your device.
Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • My touch screen has stopped working on my iPhone 5s

    my touch screen has stopped working on my iPhone 5s I've forced a shut down but after turning it back on it won't let me put my pass code in please help

    Follow the instructions here to restore using recovery mode.

  • My iphone touch screen is not working

    my iphone touch screen is not working i have restarted it how can i back up to the computer without allowing it through my phone?

    If your iPhone screen is broken or damaged so that it is not possible to enter anything, then you will not be able to unlock it if you have set a passcode and you will not be able to communicate with it in any way.
    At this point you need to take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check it out and see what can be done.  If you are in the US, some Apple stores here are now able to replace the screen on an iPhone 5-series device.  Otherwise they do an out-of-warranty replacement for $269 if the failure is due to damage.

  • I have a fairly new iPod touch and the touch screen has stopes working in certain places like the bottom row of apps and things on keyboard I have updated it and restored it multiple times it makes no difference please help!?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • My iPhone touch screen no longer works

    I have a 4s iPhone with the latest iOS 7 update. The touch screen is completely non responsive. I tried to reset the screen but I can't because I need to be able to swipe across to reset the phone and it won't let me.
    What should I do? My phone data hasn't yet been restored since I tried to restore to factory settings. I can't get calls or even open the phone.
    (No water damage or screen damage recently that could be correlated with it. Onset of problems was gradual, before today the screen was touchy but now completely unresponsive)

    I solved my own problem by clicking the home button 3 times.

  • *** HOME button won't work all of a sudden - help!

    I have a weird problem. My phone hasn't been dropped on the ground or in water but all of a sudden, the home button doesn't work anymore. Nothing feels broken on the phone (i.e. the button doesn't feel like it won't press down) but whenever I'm in an app and need to exist, pressing the home button does nothing! If I'm in my email and want to surf Safari, I have to reboot my phone - which is obviously very annoying.
    I tried restoring my iPhone as both a new phone and from my latest backup but it still doesn't work - bummer. Is my phone broken or does anyone have any tips and tricks that could get it up and running again?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Possibly a hardware problem. Mine developed that issue, although at first a really hard press worked. Apple replaced my phone.

  • My iphone 5s screen has stopped  working for no reason at all? how can i fix this?

    I was using it fine then locked it and tried to use it 5 minutes later and it stopped working? any ways to fix this or do i have to go onto an apple store?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • My touch screen has stopped working. what can i do to fix this

    what can I do to fix my touchscreen

    Rebooting your iDevice
    Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The device should begin to start up.
    If this doesn't work then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Video chat, screen sharing not working all of the sudden

    I am running iChat 4.0.2 with OSX 10.5.2 and have never had a problem with this before. Out of the blue, these features stopped working. I don't have any firewall on...more to the point, I have not changed anything to my network settings. I can connect to all of the test buddies but none of my real buddies. My brother and I would talk on iChat a few times a week and now it has stopped. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

  • Serious Problems with Iphone Touch Screen

    Hi,
    I am facing following issues with my Iphone. Could you please help/guide me how to get them resolved
    1) I think some portion of the Touch Screen has stopped working. For e.g. when i type the message in normal mode then SEND button is disabled even if i try 10 times i am not able to send the message.
    Therefore, as a work around i need to tilt my iphone to widescreen mode and then tap on send...it works....but it is very irritating
    2) Many a times Iphone on its own dials the numbers in the contact list/recent dialled/missed call
    3) If i leave SMS screen open for some time, then it automatically starts typing characters randomly
    4) The same behavior is also there in Ipod i.e. it own its own changes the song
    These are the main problems which i am facing ,,,anyone else facing similar issues?
    I have already tried following things
    1) Restarted the iphone n number of times but to no success
    2) I have also tried reset option
    Please help me how can i get these issues resolved pls.

    Have you tried a restore in iTunes?

    On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best." 
    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

    IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
    It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
    All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

    I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

  • I have iPhone 5 and the touch screen doesn't work

    I have iphone 5 and the touch screen doesn't work,i want to restart it but my touch screen is not working. I read lots of reviews and support from online all in vain. Please help me fix the problem.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the device to boot back up.
    No data is loss doing a reset.
