I know it needs replaced,it's the lower part below the z-m on keyboard , but is there not away to hook phone to computer and finish my set up?the phone was fine id just turn sideways its first needed but I was getting the screen overlay problem and I did everything I read about fixing it and I decided to do a reset but didn't think about id need the lower part for the next button.dumb dumb,but I know there's away to use computer to control the phone but can't think how at the moment , I've nt been on here in awhile ,

The digitizer is probably busted, replacement required. Try using a PC mouse via OTG, that should allow you to activate anything on the screen.
ahhh I have a otg since I found out the hard way you don't do factory resets like back in the day,I ended up buying a otg and replaced the files because it locked me out ,said my password was wrong but got it up and running,t'y for the suggestion , will hv to try that tomorrow
