Chosen Solution
So, the touch screen itself is on and when I touch the stylus to it, it registers touch but it does not respond in game. It also will occasionally not register the dpad or the joystick. To get any of these to respond in game I have to press hard on the area between the mic and the dpad. Because of this I feel like I can fix it, but I want an opinion first.
try plugging the touch ribbon back in (also clean it). if that doesn’t work get a new touch (5$) and/or clean the motherboard connector. If that doesn’t help something else went back => hard to fix Good luck!
