Check the result
- Save the condition that improved touch and repeat only during normal use. Keep any implicated charging accessory out of use pending its own checks.
- Ask Apple to review persistent touch failure with the exact app/control and accessory conditions.
Stop conditions
- Stop using and charging equipment with swelling, casing separation, smoke, a burning smell or suspected battery damage. Do not open or press on it.
- Set damaged accessories aside. Do not open mains adapters or force connectors.
- Do not erase, reset, flash firmware or bypass a lock as a default diagnostic step.
