Unresponsive touch and broken lock button.

My iPhone lock button has recently broken. I have arranged to get my lock button fixed but the touch has stopped responding. I cant even use the phone at all but not sure what to do!

I honestly thought I was the only person to have this problem.  I've been locking my phone with Assistive Touch since about 3 months after I got my iPhone 4 2 years ago.  The spring in the sleep/wake button busted, so I've used Assistive Touch for everything from screen locking to screen shotting.  Well, right now my phone is charged, but the screen continues to stay blacked out no matter how many times I tap the home button.  I can't try doing the reset thing holding the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time because the sleep/wake button has been busted for years.  The most curious thing is that when I plug my phone into the charger, and my phone is set to vibrate using the little switch on the side, the phone actually vibrates and responds as though the phone is still operational, but nothing comes up on the screen.  I tried connecting my iPhone 4 with iTunes as well, and it prompted me to respond on my phone to allow iTunes to access my phone.  Well, nothing showed up on the screen on my phone, and pressing the home button was fruitless.
I had my friend call my phone earlier, and it rang, made all the ringtone noise and everything, but nothing appeared on the screen for me to accept the call.  Additionally, my screen was blacked out for about 12 hours, being it happened about 2AM last night and randomly came back to life for about 20 minutes this afternoon before this phone decided to be stubborn again and unresponsively blackout.  I've already made an appointment at the Genius Bar tomorrow, but I just wanna say, 16boweh, we're in the same boat.  Hopefully Apple can give us a few oars (that hopefully neither of us will have to pay for (lol)).
