I have changed a few ipad mini 2 screens, but this one i have tried x2 digitizers and although home button works fine, the touch screen doesnt work at all. I was working before with the cracked screen. Any ideas?
Is this a good question?

Totally repairable. Send out for digitizer fpc connector replacement. We do this every day. If you can't find someone local, we offer a mail in board repair service for people all over the world. Far less expensive than replacing the device. Look me up at iPad Rehab.

Visually inspect where the digitizer plugs into the logic board. look for bent or missing gold pins. You may require magnification to inspect the area.

Are you able to connect the old cracked screen to see if it still works? It's possible that the connector on the logic board is damaged , they are extremely fragile.

Yup that is definitely it. You will need to find someone capable of board level repairs. The connector will need to be replaced. It is a common issue , those connectors seem to be especially fragile on the mini 2.
