Screen displays but no touch capability

I followed the instructions on IFIXIT's site to replace the Pixel 3a’s screen. Everything seemed to work perfectly for a few weeks. Last week, the touch-capability on the screen stopped responding for brief periods. Then it recurred and became more frequent. Now the screen hasn't responded to touch for almost 24 hours.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Alan Fuhs  sounds like a bad digitizer which is not uncommon. You want to try another one and then re-evaluate.

I had this problem with my phone as well. The phone was on when I replaced the screen (I had no way to turn it off). After I replaced the screen, the screen would turn on and it looked fantastic, but it didn’t recognize my touch at all.

What I ended up doing is holding down the power button for about 15-20 seconds until the phone restarted. The screen began to function normally after that and recognized my touch.
