The issue could be due to the LCD screen being in "CLEAN SCREEN" mode, which disables touch input for 30 seconds but does not turn off lights or sounds. Another possibility is a power issue or fault indicated by LED status codes. For example, a flashing RED light may signal a battery warning (below 3.3V) or other hardware faults. Check power supply and LED codes for further diagnosis.
