Nook Simple Touch - Touch not responsive

My Nook Simple Touch is not responsive for my Touches. Due to this i could not unlock the device "drag to unlock". I tried multiple ways to clean with a cloth using water and alcohol.

Nothing worked. Could you please let me know where is the Infra Red Sensors on this device?. So that i can clean that as well.
