Digitiser replaced - still no touch working (Was Water Damaged)
After an iPad 2 A1395 16Gb White was left in a bag where a bottle of juice popped, everything looked OK, except the lack of touch screen.
Digitizer replaced, but still no change.
Few reseats & restarts.
Checked no cable creases etc.
Cleaned (best I could) the contacts with ISO alcohol.
I had an old smashed digitiszer which I butchered the cable from and made a couple of spacers to increase the pressure in the zif sockets. Still no change.
Any other areas to consider? I'm contacting the company I had the Digitizer from (not cheap eBay item) just in case it's a faulty part.
All I fixit tools and iopener used - made disassembly straight forward with enough patience.
Is this a good question?

Re-cleaned and reseated and just had some very small movement.
When the iPad restarted the screen "wobbled" and when swiping right 2-3 times you could see the screen moving 3-4mm then it would move albeit slightly by itself.
It was almost like the commands were getting through, but only a fraction of them.
I cannot reproduce this again though.
Thanks for the reply con - got a water damaged iPhone 4 here that is sporadic. Works absolutely fine for 5-10 minutes, then starts glitching and complaining about the temperature. Full strip and ISO alcohol bath and it still does it!
