well that's quite something, do you have a protective case? restart the phone (press and hold power & volume up for 5 seconds)

repair your phone

Repair it with

Update Service (SUS)

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

tried power and volume buttons .. nothing ..... have tried computer companian repair my phone .... no luck with that ... when holding power button push volume up just keeps saying volume 100%....

The reason for that is because you are NOT pressing power & volume up at the SAME TIME

remember PRESS and HOLD both keys at the SAME time

I see your problem is already solved but in case anyone else encounters this and is not able to scroll in menus you need to use two fingers to scroll if you also enabled explore by touch under Settings -> Accessibility.

Cause
TalkBack helps blind and vision-impaired users interact with their Android devices more easily.

Resolution
Below are tips you can use regarding the TalkBack feature:

Turn on TalkBack feature

Tap Ok.

Turn off TalkBack feature
From Home Screen double tap Applications.
Double tap Settings.

Touch Selection: You must double tap the screen to activate or select screen icons and options.

Scrolling: You must touch the screen with two fingers and slide up or down to navigate through a list.

Swiping: You must touch the screen with two fingers and slide left or right to swipe from screen to screen.

The solution to this is, use 2 fingers on the screen to scroll, 1 finger scrolling doesnt work, accessibility is intended for blind people I think, so to avoid accidental navigation they made it multitouch. no need to reset the phone, hope this helps
