Touchscreens have become an integral part of our everyday lives today. They not only serve as primary input devices for smartphones and tablets, but are also increasingly being installed in laptops. But what should I do if the touchscreen suddenly stops responding to my fingers? The answer to that is here.
No matter whether you use a Samsung smartphone or any other device with a touchscreen, if the display does not respond to your finger touch, there can be various reasons. Below you will find some solutions that can solve the problem. After each of these, check whether the operation works again.
Have you gone through all of the above points, but the touchscreen still doesn’t respond to finger input? Then a hard reset, i.e. resetting to factory settings, may help. However, please note that this step usually results in the loss of all data stored on the device.
