iPad Air Touch Screen Not Working

I have a new iPad Air 128Gb model. I was using it and the screen stopped responding. I used the sleep/wake button and home button trick and it restarted, but still not responding. The areas you are trying to touch have a box placed around them, but will not let you touch them. For instance, when I try to put my passcode in I push the number 1 and the number has a box around it, but it does not let me activate the number 1 to unlock the iPad. I made an appointment at Genius Bar, but I am looking for other solutions or has anyone had something similar happen?

iPad, iOS 7.0.4, 128Gb Air with AT&T cellular

You have turned on VoiceOver. You turn it off by going to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn it off there.


To navigate in this mode, you select items by tapping once, then double-tap to activate the item, and need to scroll using THREE fingers.


Please do not go to the trouble of restoring.


And read the manual...
