Home button works but digitizer doesn't

When I separated the screen from the phone, I used a plastic spudger as usual, and when I reassemble the screen, the touch stopped working.

However the home button still responds.

I inspected the wire for the digitizer and home button and it doesn't seem damaged in anyway.

What could've gone wrong?

I passed that spudger from the bottom of the phone to the top.

Is it possible that I severed or damaged only one part of that wire?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

totally possible (tiny unfortunate tear, not easily seen)

more likely and easy (enough) solution:

re-seat the connectors

pita remove front assembly, remove cables, re-snap them back on (I like a good click, then a sort of tiny swirl push, not as much as getting fingerprinted!)

then, before you re-double sided tape that back, turn on and test (front assembly does jot have to be glued back to work); if all well, then stick it back together!

hopefully makes sense, and good luck

(and if you fail, it may be possible for the genius bar (apple store), to backup without working digitizer)
