you will have to buy a new touchscreen + lcd.

I've read about some people who are able to put them back together but I don't think not just anybody can do this.

Try to look for decent replacement parts, been have some trouble with glass being to thick so the button sit's to deep...

Problem is that it's not seeding right not that the glass is to thick. I wouldn't buy parts off eBay. I used a place close to cincinnati they have a ship in service. Parts are high quality, fast shipping and super nice people.
