Thread: MY SCREEN IS NOT RESPONDING TO TOUCH

The other day my screen stopped responding to my touch completely (only about 2 months old). The phone would randomly put itself into airplane mode and when I turned that off I was still able to send and receive text messages. I was unable to view my contacts folder or make calls though because android.phone or various other processes would crash when I tried. So I did a hard reset on my phone to see if that would fix my screen problem and now I cannot even send or receive text because I am stuck at the startup for the device and am unable to complete the startup because I cannot touch the screen. The red light of death comes up briefly when the phone is plugged in but goes away very quickly even with the battery in. The phone boots normally although it seems to take a little bit longer than usual. Does anyone have any idea on what is going wrong and how I can fix my screen?

Thanks!
