About an inch of the screen not responding to touch.
Rest of the screen is fine and there no visible damages to the phone.
Please tell me it's just a cable connector come off loose and I can open and press on these clips to fix it.
Is this a good question?

That might be the case, otherwise you may need to do a full screen replacement. The screen replacement guide on Ifixit.com will show which cables should be connected and if neither of those suggestions work, it’s a motherboard issue, and not cost effective to repair, in my opinion.

Thanks. Just tried to remove all three cables and connect it back again. Still the same issue. What I don't understand is, everything was working fine before the drop. It should be a mechanical dislodge of some sorts isn't? Can't wrap my head around how a two foot drop might kill a motherboard circuitry.
@ncifixnc That was a last resort thought, as far as the mother board, I think the screen replacement will do you just fine, I apologize, I was giving all scenarios.

You will have to replace the screen, it has damaged it and there is nothing you can do except change the screen. It can have a hair line crack or damaged it somehow. It had nothing to do with the motherboard. Put a new screen on it and you will be fine. A new screen is less than 30 dollars.

I agree with you as well, I just was giving all scenarios, sorry about the confusion :)
I understand, I haven't heard of issues with touch on the se from a drop. But if only a small part of the screen won't respond to touch then it's definitely a screen.
