IPhone 5C touch screen not working?

I was holding my phone while standing at my kitchen counter. I accidentally dropped it facedown onto the counter; it fell less than a foot. I picked it back up, everything was fine, then a few seconds later it began to freeze and I couldn't use the touchscreen very well. Eventually, it became that the screen won't recognize touch at all, so even after restarting (holding the power and home buttons down at the same time) the phone 10+ times, it still won't let me swipe to unlock. What do I do? I have checked a lot of websites but they all say the same thing, and most of those things involve actually using the touch screen which I can't do.

The 'touch sensor' known as the Digitizer is now either disconnected from the screen inside or is now broken. From the shock of the drop. Repair shop or Applestore time. Best luck.

  • Why is my iPhone 4's touch screen not working well? I have an iPhone 4, and has recently stopped working properly. When I unlock it, it will sometimes take at least 5 swipes to work. It's even worse when I try to put in my passcode. In the middle of playing a game or texting someone, the touch screen will stop working, and I can't tap. The home and power button still work just fine, but I need to power off and then back on again to get it working again. If anyone can help, it is greatly appreciated.
  • My Iphone touch screen isn't working? I dropped it while bending over, and now whenever I go to slide to unlock, it doesn't move. When I go to power it off, the cancel works fine, but again, the slide bar won't work. I restarted it, and when I do this, it automatically brings up the passlock, and when I go to type it in, only the 1 - 2 - 3 and 5 work… So I can't unlock my iphone at all. Does anyone know what I can do to get it working?

  • Iphone 5s touch screen not working? I cracked my phone awhile ago and one day i woke up and the touch screen function was not working, I thought it was because i needed to get a new screen, so i did. But now i have the new screen and it still isn't working, what can be the problem? I don't have apple care so can't take it into them.
