Why wont my screen work?

[iMore Question]

I dropped my iphone 4 earlier today and I cannot slide it to unlock my phone, open the camera, or turn off the power. I've tried holding the home and lock button down together to restart it but it still wont let me slide the screen.

The drop explains a lot. You'll have to have it repaired or get a new device. Slide to unlock is very important for the 4 & unless you can unlock it, you've got yourself a paperweight.
