Definitely something wrong with the new ios 11 and touchscreen replacements. Spent a good part of the day restoring my iphone to ios 10 to get the touchscreen to work again.
Strange thing is that the touch screen worked for about a day after freezing for basically a whole day, reinstalling a new home button and fiddling around with it, and then went back to having touch screen functionality on and off, but finally becoming unresponsive. >.< why ios 11 why?
