Before you seek out professional repairs for your Pixel, you may be able to troubleshoot and fix the touchscreen not working on your own. Below, we will discuss some of the ways you can do this.
Remove Everything From the Device
The very first step you should take in attempting to fix your phone is to remove anything from the outside of it including the screen protector and case. Sometimes, one of these items is getting in the way and may be confusing the touchscreen.
If you have removed these items and your touchscreen is still not working, you should attempt to try the other troubleshooting items on this list.
Turn the Device Off and On
While it may sound simple to just turn your phone off and then back on, it often does the trick. Sometimes, your device just needs a little reset to start working. Turning your phone off and then on is one of the easiest fixes and can be done in less than a minute.
Once your phone is off, you will want to wait about 30 seconds before you turn it back on again. If the touchscreen is still not working, continue down the list.
Clear Out the Cookies and Cache
