Why is my digitizer not working, iPhone 5s
My iPhone 5s was damaged by water. After the water, the LCD screen was not working properly and the digitizer was not working at all, but the phone powered still powered on. I ordered and installed the LCD and digitizer assembly from iFixit and installed the new part. Before pressing the screen back in, I powered the unit up to see if the functions of the LCD and digitizer were back. The LCD screen is worked properly, but I had no response from the digitizer. I took the screen off again to clean connections and make sure I had all cables seated properly. Once again I have the LCD screen working but not the digitizer.
If I had a another screen with a working digitizer, I would try installing that in case the new screen has a faulty digitizer, but I don't have access to another screen.
Is there anything else I can try before sending the part back?
I know that there is a good chance that something else in the phone was damaged by the water and that could be my problem. Is there a way I can troubleshoot anything more in the phone to identify the issue?
Thanks,
Dom
Is this a good question?
