Hello!

So I have a Galaxy S5 which was working all good until today (even tho its screen glass cracked the day after I bought it..).

Today after switching it on, even tho all the buttons work, the screen won't respond to touch, I tried to hardreset it, softreset, fatory reset, but nothing seems to solve it. Both the home button and the two buttons at the bottom work, there are no visible damage to the screen anywhere, it just won't recognise the it when I touch it.

Any ideas? I assume its the digitalizer or whatever it is that can cause this kind of problem, but I see no way how could that be damaged during the night while the phone was sitting on the bedside table.

Any ideas are much appriciated!
