Try a forced restart of your iP6:

Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. When it appears, release both buttons, wait for your iphone to restart, then test it.


If nothing changes, it could be a hardware failure. Have your iphone inspected at an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider: Apple – Location Selector

Sorry about that, Lwallich62.

Just a warning: keep in mind that a defective screen could have unpredictable behaviors or stop working suddendly.

That being said, you can use it, but I suggest that you perform a backup of your device on a regular basis (at least once a week, so that your data are safely stored).

In case of a sudden blackout, you won't be able to do anything on that device.
