Hello nickmwangi65,
My situation is similar to yours. I had been to HP Service center for replacing the screen but they are charging way high amount to replace the LCD Screen.
I want to know whether your full touch is not working or partial.
In my phone the screen's upper half is working fine. But the lower one is not working.
So I guess only the LCD Glass panel has to be replaced. I have checked online and found one on alibaba.com charging at $3-$10 for the Glass panel. Hope it helps you if only your glass panel has damaged.
