Suddenly I can't get into my phone. The sliding screen won't slide and I can't turn the phone off either. Any ideas please?

Is your screen clean? If I get dognose on mine it stops the slider working and have to clean it with a damp cloth
Have you got important info saved somewhere else?
Wolfgang my Samsung is not good so I lost lots of data but now do factory reset

Woofgang, just tried cleaning it with a damp cloth - nothing - so I took the screen cover off and tried it. Still nothing.

Tony, no I haven't. It's mostly phone numbers - I don't use my phone for much except texting and phone calls. I've only had this one a few months so it's pretty annoying.
Do you back it up to a computer? have you tried connecting it to itunes via a computer?
Question Author
Woofgang, No, I don't - and no I haven't - but I will - well, at least my husband will. I'm rubbish at technology. Thank you.
Hold the on off button and home button until the apple logo appears then it'll reboot itself
I hope it works Naomi

Tried that, pankysmooch. All I get is a 'slide to power off' message - which it won't let me do - and a button to cancel. It won't switch off.
Question Author
Yeahhhhh! I tried your suggestion again, pankysmooch, and Bingo!! Thank you so much!!!!

Thanks Woofgang and Tony too for trying to help. Very grateful to you all. Phew! I can go to bed happy now. Night all. x
glad to hear it :)

Thanks Woofgang. Technology is wonderful - until it goes wrong. :o)
You did not hold the piwer and the home button long enough.

Keep holding when the piwer off slider shows. The phone will be forced to reboot.
