Screen stopped responding yesterday.

Responds to the home button & on/off button. Won't respond to reset (IE Home & on/off button together). I'm waiting for battery to run down so I can restart it, but now has developed the battery life it never had so is taking forever to go flat. Is working normally other than a failure to respond to the screen.

It's a 7 I think.

Any thoughts?

Plug it in and see if iTunes can detect it/take a backup?

Edit:

Sorry I thought it was completely dead. Sounds like it needs a new digitiser or it has become disconnected.

Tried to reset from iTunes says I need to input passcode on phone, which I can't do.

Well it finally went flat & after about 30mins of charging came back to life & seems to be Ok. Most odd.

I’d be taking that as a hint to move on.
