iPhone Screen Repair Issue
So I basically shattered my almost new iPhone 3GS screen. Apple is (of course) going to charge me 200 dollars to fix it. I can't pay for this so I bought a replacement screen and adhesive (50 bucks). I followed the instructions exactly with no issues and closed up the phone. Everything about the phone still works except the touch is all out of whack. The calibration is all off in the x and y directions and although it picks up everyone on the screen being touched it doesn't press the correct corresponding icon.
I'm a 4th year Computer Science major and have plenty of experience with repairing things like this (although obviously not enough) so feel free to not assume I'm an idiot (or do... maybe I am). I checked and rechecked the cable connections to the motherboard to see if maybe some of the leads weren't completely connected but it appears they're fine. Any ideas?!?!
(Odd side note... the only thing that appears to work completely is the finger slide you have to do to turn off the phone...)
