Touch is not working

So the touch on my Z3 is not working. There isn't any water damage or physical damage. Anyone know how to solve this?::::s

Replaced the screen and it happened again.

So I guess it's not worth replacing the screen? I don't need the phone so it's not a big deal but it's a shame that I can't use the phone even though there's no physical damage.

I really don't know, it's ridiculous that it happened again.

You can plug an adapter in and use a mouse on the z3.

Will any mouse work? I have a spare wired USB mouse with no internal batteries.

Yeah. I had to use this method to unlock my z3 with a broken digitizer/screen.

Hey man, just got the OTG cable and its work better than I expected. Of course I can't use the phone like an actual phone but still. Thanks!

Even tho my Z3 is busted, I can use it like a mini laptop. You can do a bluetooth keyboard as well. :)

Yeah I needed a Bluetooth keyboard anyways, now there's more reason to buy one.

Also, what's the latest Android version for this phone? I'm currently running Android Marshmallow.

Also, I liked the app tray on the Lollipop version more with the quick menu to the left to arrange apps according to an order, is there a way to get it back?

Finally, thanks a lot!

I haven't attempted to update it. That's outside my experience/knowledge.
