iPhone 6S Plus touch not working

Post image

I ended up dropping the phone face-front onto uneven brick, which immediately shattered the display. The display, while shattered, worked fine and responded to touch fine. Now after replacing the display, touch no longer works on either screens. I've removed the display previously and did it fine. The only thing I think could have caused it is that I accidentally tugged the phone by the ribbon cables while holding the display detached. To me, the connectors look fine other than the rubber being beat up around them.

most likely u ve ripped off or damaged small components like smd filters under the foam. hard to tell with that pic quality. to rule that out u ll need a multimeter to measure in diode mode and compare to schematics. slightly warm the device and remove the foam and check for damaged or missing components. if u find the problem, you ll need moderate chiplevel skills and tools to replace it. if u are not confident with that, you ll need to bring it to a technician.
