Help Fixed vibrating...now touchscreen not working

So I have searched for the answer and cannot find an answer.
My Galaxy S4 is a little over a year old. Recently I noticed the vibrating stopped working. I felt that was an easy enough fix, based on tear downs, etc. Well I got the vibrating to work again. However, after reassembling the phone the touchscreen does not respond. Home, power, and volume work, but not the touchscreen. So I disconnect the digitizer and then reconnect it, replace the battery, power up, and it works for only a minute or two. Then stops working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help or suggestions. I have not tried a factory reset, but a little piece of me thinks that I'm SOL.
