part of the screen non-responsive even after screen is replaced

Hello!

I bought an iphone 5s from ebay, part of the screen is non-responsive. I figured it needed a new screen and digitizer, no problem. I've replaced them and still can't get the number 6 to type - even with the new screen! Anyone know what I should do?

*edited to show the connectors on the logic board.

I used a new screen (the second one) and it has a different LCD cable. I'm still having issue with the number six. I can not get the number six to type on the screen! What can I do now? Do I need to replace the logic board?

I'm fairly new to this, I've been playing with iphones for a while. It is a very expensive hobby. :/

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Have you checked the digitizer connector on the logic board for any damage? (e.g bent pins, burn marks etc)

I reused the lcd back plate and the cable that came with it. Do you think that could be the problem? When I bought it on Ebay, I was aware of the problem with the LCD screen. I'm learning my way around iphones. Do you think I should have just ordered a replacement screen with all the parts?

I got another screen and it didn't work - the six still didn't type.

Do I need to replace the connector piece on the motherboard?
