Please Help; Phone Stuck at Screen Lock

[dumdum21]

hello,
had my sprint touch [vogue] for just under a year
and the night before last, my screen was acting slow in response..
so as the night goes on, my phone gets stuck in the 'screen lock'
and the screen isnt working; i couldnt make calls or txt just recieve them.. [couldnt look at the txts]; hard buttons work.

ive tried a soft reset, and taken the battery out
[multiple times] there arent any roms or anything of that nature..

any suggestions?


and i wasnt able to save my contacts to my pc, so im
worried about the hard reset..
