When you mean digitizer is this glass only or the whole screen assembly which includes the display and the glass?

If it's glass only then the LCD is most likely damaged after separating the glass from the LCD.

Otherwise it's probably a defective replacement screen.

This is actually more common than you think, and happens sometimes when replacing the LCD/Digitizer on the Note 8, S8 or S8 Plus. For whatever reason, it shorts out and stops working, and even a soft reset doesn't help. I've had situations when I was able to fix it with a soft reset (volume down plus power until the Samsung logo shows up) other times where it didn't there. IMO, there is no rhyme or reason to why this happens, other than a shortage. Also, if you see a red light indicator that doesn't go away, that is in relation to the screen not working as well. It's tough, because at first you assume the screen/LCD is bad, but actually that's not the case at all.
