+ | Any software that contains errors can cause an iPhone to act as though the touch screen is not responsive. More likely a certain function is not working properly. |
# See if you can use the touch screen successfully on the home screen. Ask Siri to “Go to the home screen,” if necessary. | |
# Reopen the affected app and try to recreate the issue. If it reoccurs, check the App Store for updates and install them. Uninstall and reinstall the app if no updates are present. | |
# If the home screen is also unresponsive, this is more likely a hardware issue, but you can update your phone using a computer to be certain. This will require you to [guide|133851|use Recovery Mode|new_window=true], since you cannot enter your passcode or trust the computer without touch input. | |

== Display == | |
* See if any parts of your touch screen respond. Using landscape mode, try and navigate inaccessible parts of the display. You can also try one of the many touchscreen test apps to find dead spots. | |
* Check internal cables for tears or other damage. Have a look at the [[Topic:iPhone|iFixit Display Replacement Guide|new_window=true]] for your iPhone to determine which cables are related to screen function. In older phones, there may even be a cable dedicated to touch. | |
- | * Recently replaced your screen? The new display may be faulty. Third-party replacements are of variable quality. Issues with touch functionality are rampant in low-grade parts. Contact the shop |
+ | * Recently replaced your screen? The new display may be faulty. Third-party replacements are of variable quality. Issues with touch functionality are rampant in low-grade parts. Contact the shop that performed the replacement or the vendor you bought the display from and ask about the warranty. |
* If you find damage, or software fixes have not made a difference, replace the display. Parts and tools to do this can be found at [parts|iPhone|itemtype=screens]. | |

It is present most commonly after an iPhone repair that did not go perfectly, where the screen was disconnected and reconnected many times. |
* Connect the display, but not the home button cable, and see if touch returns to verify this issue. The home button flex is the outermost of the lower two cables coming from the display. | |

* If they are broken, this connector will need to be replaced. If you do not have the proper tools or soldering experience to do this, seek a local repair shop to help. | |
