To reset an unresponsive screen, start by pressing and holding the power button for about 10-20 seconds. This soft reset usually forces the device to restart. If that doesn’t work, try removing the battery (if possible) or connecting the device to a power source. For persistent issues, consider a hard reset following the manufacturer’s guidelines, but be aware that this may erase your data.
