    If you've reseated the connection and sure it's seated properly then I would suggest its a faulty digitiser.

    hmmm...yes but it was taken off another working ipod touch 3g that had other issues....anyway was thinking of getting the complete unit off ebay, but they are obviously fakes, ive seen someone selling just the glass digitizer genuine, but i still need to buy the frame and also how do you take take off the home button as the digitizer im thinking of getting doesnt come with the home button, seems impossible to take off the home button...cheers

    there is a crystal Ic on the PCB, try to re-flow it with air station. but make sure reflow all the Ic's or else it will be dead.

    I've bought a few complete units for iPhones off amazon which were great, so have a look on there and check the feedback.
