3. Touchscreen Not Working
If the touchscreen on your Huawei Mate device is unresponsive or not working properly, try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Clean the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt or smudges that may be affecting the touchscreen's sensitivity.
- Restart your device to see if the issue is resolved.
- If the problem persists, go to Settings > System > About phone > System updates and check for any available software updates. Install the updates if available.
- If the touchscreen issue still persists, backup your data and perform a factory reset. Go to Settings > System > Reset > Factory data reset. Note that this will erase all data on your device, so make sure to create a backup beforehand.
