Why are only my sleep and home buttons working but the screen doesnt recognise my touch

So last night everything on my ipod touch 2nd gen was working fine. then when i woke up, only the sleep and home button worked. My screen isnt picking up any sort of touch at all. when i press the on button, it wont let me slide to unlock. when i press the on and home button at the same time to turn it off, it will not let me slide to power off. HELP!!! It is passed the original 90 day warranty (very old no damage though) and i need an answer ASAP

have you tried charging the device ?
if so and it still does not work you can try a Forced Recovery..
by holding the HOME button down and plugging it into your computer at the same time..

Make sure it is charged for about 10min using the adapter, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?

My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

Ok. So my 2nd gen ipod touch is frozen at the Apple logo screen. Ive tried doing the sleep and home button, conecting it the computer and running it dixk mode and restoreing it and nothing works.it wont get unstuck. Is it just plain dead?

It is very likely that you will have to restore the iPod.

Hi, so last night i went to charge my phone and i came back 5 minutes later and it was completely shut off. I would try to press my power and home button together but the problem is that my power button is broken. I don't know what to do.

I'm freaking out, please help

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using. Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't. It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years! Please help!

When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

Sleep and Home button doesn't work to restart, anything else to try?

Pay attention to the very end of the support article about restoring the iPad. And by the way ... The battery does have a charge in it doesn't it?

My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

You can try to reboot a few more times. If it doesn't come back and you normally sync to a computer, hook it up and see if the 'guts' are working even if the screen isn't.
Beyond that you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

My phone wont turn on ive tried holding the sleep and home button and nothing happened help?

i turned my phone off and it wont turn on ive tried holding the sleep and home button and nothing happened...i plugged it in to my computer and i didnt connect to itunes help

The two first choices are to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, that can take up to half a minute. If that does not work, then more drastic is to restore using the recovery mode to connect to a computer running iTunes, described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and summarized as:
