IPhone 5 touchscreen not working???

I was sitting in the car playing a game on my iPhone and out of no where the touch screen stopped being able to be touched. The screen timed out and I can't even swipe to unlock. The screen isn't frozen cause my "dynamic wallpaper" still moves, and when I hold the lock button to turn it off it gives me the option to swipe to power off BUT I CANT SWIPE. I've reset it to factory settings and I've done the "hard reset" where you hold the lock and home button at the same time at least 10 times. Everything that I read on the internet says it's because of water damage, but it can't be because it doesn't have water damage. Anyone have any ideas? I've done just about everything I can think of. I can't get a new iPhone right now so I'm kinda screwed.

Hi kyl3w,
If the touch screen on your iPhone is not functioning properly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Cracked screen, touchscreen not working, need to backup. Help?

    Hola,
    I dropped my iPhone 3G and broke the screen ... AGAIN ... in a comical addition to what has been a bad week of epic proportions.
    Anyways, I have a passcode on the phone, but with the touchscreen not working, I can't enter it. Therefore I can't get iTunes to back up the phone. The screen is cracked but displays fine, but touch input is broken.
    Is there any way to enter the passcode to iTunes and have it unlock the phone? Anything I can do at all? No MobileMe, not jailbroken, etc.
    Thanks.

    Unless you can enter the passcode directly on the phone, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

    This sounds more like a hardware issue.
    Have you checked that the dock connector port is not dirty?

  • Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA.

    Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA.   Keeps telling me "unable to verify address" and says it is sending me a verification link to my email address but I never get anything.   Crazy. 
    After a while it tells then me that it cannot verify my email address because of a network connection  ("Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again. ")
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • If my iPhone 5c is not working and I have to trade it for a new phone can I get an IPhone 5s or do I have to trade for another 5c?

    If my IPhone 5c is not working and I have to trade it for a new phone can I get a 5s or do I have to trade it in for another 5c?

    A warranty or out of warranty replacement through Apple will be for the same model, same capacity, same colour.

  • I just bought an iPhone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the screen to the left, the search box appears but when I type what I want to search for, there is no action. Please help.

    I just got an iphone 4s. Now the search iphone function is not working. When I swipe the start screen, the search box shows up. But when I type what I want to search, there is no action. Please help.

    Try this...
    You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • The home button on my iphone 5 is not working.

    The home button on my iphone 5 is not working, so I'm using assistive touch.  How do I close open apps without double tapping the home button?

    The other possible things you can try would include...
    Inserting the lightning connector and applying a little bit of pressure up under the Home button.
    Some folks have cleaned the Home button with a few drops of isopropic alochol caring to not get it on your screen.  This is only going to get things working again if it has been gummed up through normal use
    If you are still within the one-year warranty or extended it with Apple Care don't try any of these steps just take it to Apple.
