How to Fix Tecno Pova Slim 5G With Screen Touch Not Responding

When the touchscreen stops working, your Tecno Pova Slim 5G can feel almost unusable. You cannot swipe, tap, or even unlock the device. Thankfully, there are several ways to get the screen working again.

Why Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G Touchscreen Might Not Respond

• Temporary software glitch or frozen system.
• Dirty screen, moisture, or dust interfering with touch recognition.
• Screen protector or case blocking proper sensitivity.
• Accessibility settings affecting touch input.
• Hardware damage from drops or pressure.

Restart the Phone.

A frozen system is the most common reason the screen stops responding. Restarting forces the phone to reload the system and clear out temporary bugs.

1. Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
2. Wait for the device to power cycle, and then test the touchscreen again.

Clean the Screen.

Dust, grease, or even a thin film of moisture can block touch sensors. Cleaning the screen often restores normal function immediately.

1. Power off the phone, and then wipe the display with a soft microfiber cloth.
2. Make sure there is no moisture or dirt before turning the device back on.

Remove Screen Protector and Case.

Sometimes accessories interfere with touch sensitivity. A poorly fitted protector or thick case can stop touches from registering.

1. Carefully peel off the screen protector, and then take off the case.
2. Test the screen without them to see if the problem goes away.

Check Accessibility Settings.

Some settings can delay or alter touch responses. If features like Touch & Hold delay are enabled, they may cause unresponsiveness.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Accessibility.
2. Tap Interaction and dexterity, and then disable Touch & Hold delay if it is on.

Update the Software.

Outdated firmware can sometimes cause touchscreen issues. Updating ensures the phone has the latest bug fixes.

1. Open Settings, and then tap System.
2. Tap System update, and then download and install any available updates.

Force Restart the Phone.

If the screen is completely frozen and nothing works, a force restart can help. This does not delete data, but it forces the phone to reboot.

1. Press and hold the Power key and Volume Down key together for about 15 seconds.
2. Release both keys when the Tecno logo appears, and then wait for the phone to boot.

If the touchscreen is still not responding after these fixes, the issue may be hardware related. At that point, visiting a service center for professional repair is the best option.
