Screen has a display but no touch screen after repair.

Hey I've got a Pixel 3a that touch screen suddenly stopped working. I suspect water damage, it was in my pocket during a pretty bad rain storm and after that the touch screen stopped working.

I replaced the screen with a non-genuine part because that's all I could find at the time, and the same issue persisted. I know it was a not genuine part because the colours are different.

My question is if there's another component on the board that could potentially be broken other than the screen? I was thinking about ordering another screen replacement (since iFixit sells genuine Google parts) but I want to see if there's anything else I can do before I pull the trigger, in case that's the issue.

Thank you!

Hello @kazuhiramiller, Yes can check out another screen placement, if it doesn't work that means you need to change the touch I.C

How difficult is it to replace the touch I.C? Is there a tutorial I can find anywhere?

Apologies, I've just read the teardown and I see it's on the ribbon cable for the screen itself. I'll order a new screen. Thank you for much for your help!
