Hi, I can't "slide to unlock" with older iphone.

Hi,

I have an older version of iPhone, (not the 3G), : ) !!!

I was using the WeDict dictionary application and then suddenly the iphone blacked out.

I turned it back on but it hasn't allowed me to "slide to unlock". I have pressed several times the power and the menu buttons and it doesn't help me to solve this problem. The iphone turns itself back on but it doesn't allow me to "slide to unlock".

iTunes does not recognize the iPhone either.

I am not writing this thread without having previously looked at other posts. Some of them talk about resetting the phone but I don't know how. Hopefully, I won't loose the dictionary files I installed in previous days.

Thank you very much,

igmolinav.

My iPhone had an issue where only the bottom 6th or so of the screen went dead. I couldn't slide to unlock anymore... you might be having a similar issue. Can you slide to shut the phone off?

Hey,

Thank you for your answer : ) !!!

No, it doesn't turn off with the power button. It is stuck. the only thing I was able to do was to press the power and menu button simultaneously. However, it doesn't help me much because it brings me back to the same place where I can't "slide to unlock".

Hopefully, it will have a solution soon.

Thank you,

igmolinav.

Hello igmolinav,
Do you solve the problem? I also encountered the same issue. If you solve the issue, could you please tell me how to solve it? Thanks in advance.
My iphone is 1.1.4 fireware.
