iPhone side button pressing itself

If your iPhone side button presses itself, the screen locks for no reason and Siri or Emergency SOS may open. Remove the case and clean around the button first. To avoid accidental emergency calls, turn off the button call options in Settings › Emergency SOS. If it continues, the button or its flex cable is replaced.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
