My Droid Turbo was recently involved in an accident. The display was completely crushed, while the upper portion of the phone took a good beating. I got the display repaired, but ever since the GPS on my phone is not working. I mean the AGPS and not the one that track's location using the phone signal. When using my GPS app, it shows 18-27 satellites but 0 fix.

Is this a hardware issue and if yes, can it be fixed? The accelerometer, gyroscope and compass seem to be fine. Also, the pins that power the flash on the back side are damaged, so is there a chance that the chip that houses the flash also makes the GPS work and that's why it's not working?
