How to Turn Off an iPhone X Without a Functional Screen

Step 1: Prepare the Phone

If you own an iPhone X and the screen is not functioning, the first step to turning it off is to prepare the phone. This includes making sure the phone is charged and connected to the internet. You will also need to have access to the iCloud account associated with the phone.

Step 2: Find the Settings Menu

Once the phone is prepared, you will need to find the settings menu. To do this, you can use the voice command feature on the iPhone X. Simply say “Hey Siri” to activate the voice command and then ask it to open the settings menu. Alternatively, you can use the physical keys on the side of the phone (the power button and the volume up and down buttons) to access the settings menu.

Step 3: Disable the Lock Screen

Once you have accessed the settings menu, you will need to disable the lock screen. This will allow you to access the other settings without having to enter a passcode. To do this, simply go to the Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and toggle the switch next to “Require Passcode” to the off position.

Step 4: Turn Off the iPhone X

Once you have disabled the lock screen, you can now turn off the iPhone X. To do this, go to the Settings > General > Shut Down menu. Here, you will find an option to turn off the phone. Tap this option and the iPhone X will turn off.

Step 5: Activate Lost Mode

Once the iPhone X is turned off, you can now activate the Lost Mode. Lost Mode allows you to remotely lock the phone, erase all data, and track the phone's location. To activate this, log into your iCloud account and select the “Find My iPhone” option. Then, select the “Lost Mode” option and follow the instructions to activate it.

Step 6: Power Down the Phone

Finally, you can now power down the iPhone X. To do this, press and hold the power button for several seconds until the phone shuts off. Once the phone is powered down, it is safe to remove the battery if necessary.

Turning off an iPhone X without a functional screen can be a daunting task. However, by following the steps outlined above, you should be able to do it without any issues. Remember, it is always important to back up your data before attempting any repair or reset on your phone.
