First try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. If that helps, great.


But it probably will not and you should then go to the Apple store genius bar. Be sure and make a backup first, in iCloud is best, so that you do not lose content if the decision is to replace the unit. If you have an iCloud backup, that can be restored by the techs while you wait.
