Hello,

Is it a Genuine screen or was it a replacement?

I had this problem when I replaced my one.

Regards

Usually iPhone 5 (or any iPhone for this matter) that does "ghost touching" or "typing on its own" needs to have the display replaced.

Possible causes:

- Bad replacement screen assembly - the screen was replaced before and a poor copy screen was used;

- Damage from drop/liquid - the screen was original or replaced but was later damaged;

- Battery swollen, pushed it from inside and damaged it.

Try a reboot pressing together the home+power button until you see the apple logo appear. If that doesn't help there's not much you can do apart from changing the screen.

If touch can not work well, in most cases you have to replace screen.

But we can replace the touch/digitizer in China.

But... iphone screen is very very cheap now, if your iphone screen is original, it is worth to repair, if cope then buy a new copy screen :)
