My iphone 5 blacked out: screen doesn't show anything, siri is the only thing works, pressing the silver lock screen button does nothing, and I can't turn off the phone..

My iphone 5 blacked out:

battery is full,

screen doesn't show anything,

siri is the only thing works,

pressing the silver lock screen button does nothing,

and I can't turn off the phone..


Before this happened, I was just opening a wikipedia webpage, then the screen froze in a white background before the website opens up, so I pressed the lock-screen silver button and then it just blacked out. Now I can't use my phone.. I tried connect my phone to my laptop and restore my phone but it won't work until the Find my iphone is turned off, but I can't do that since I can't read anything from the screen..


Is there anything I can do myself to make it work? or should i take it to an apple store?

Thank you!

iPhone 5

I have an iphone 6 and my screen is completely black with no apple logo or anything but I know its on because I turned off all the lights and still see light from the screen. Ive tried hard reset, DFU mode, and any other power home and even volume combination I can find online to no avail. When I plug it into the computer, it doesnt recognize the phone either. The phone is completely unresponsive. Please help!
