iPhone Touch Screen Not Working? Don’t Panic, We’ve Got You Covered

Is your iPhone’s touch screen not working? Don’t worry, it’s more common than you think. In this article, we’ll walk you through the possible causes and solutions to get your iPhone up and running in no time.

First Steps

Before we dive into the fixes, let’s cover some basics. If you have an iPhone 11, check your eligibility for an Apple Service Program. iPhone X has a similar program. Finally, iPhone 6 Plus is subject to well-documented board issues affecting touch.

Perform a force restart by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Buggy Software

Any software with errors can cause an iPhone to act as though the touch screen is not responsive. More likely, a certain function is not working properly.

Use Recovery Mode to restore your iPhone to its factory settings. Connect your iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Display

Although most display failures seem obvious, even without visible damage, the display may not work properly due to something amiss internally.

Bent Ground Pins on Home Button Connector

This issue occurs exclusively in iPhones 7, 7 Plus, 8, and 8 Plus. It may also be present in second or third-generation iPhone SE models, due to part similarity.

Use a magnifying glass or a microscope to inspect the Home Button connector for bent ground pins.

Logic Board

The logic board is the hub for the vast majority of an iPhone’s functionality. Any number of the small components on the board may have failed or become damaged.
