Help ZTE AVID N9120 METRO PCS touch screen digitizer unresponsive

my phone's touch screen all the sudden stop working. hold power and up button reboot it to factory settings still not work. clean it, open it and put back together, the same, nothing works. don't know if I buy a new digitizer will fix this. please help let me know if there are any ways that i can try to fix this anyone.
Thx.
 
If you just bought it, take it back to Metro, although chances are, if they look around it, they might see that you 'opened' it, thus voiding the warranty. *I tried this with my Huawei Ascend and the Metro operator refused to accept my excuse that I, being bored, used a pen to poke at the tamper-evident film*

It sounds like the screen itself went bad, you could try to see if you can purchase another used one, and salvage it for the part you require, or find the means to obtain a new one. Hardware can be tricky to diagnose, much less fix without the proper equipment and resources.

Hmm, unfortunately, I do not have the knowledge to decipher that log.

Since it's already open, you might want to consider getting another one, unless someone can provide assistance with diagnosing and repairing the issue, which I believe, might have to involve taking the phone apart once more. If it powers up correctly and runs the way it should, it might simply be the screen that has either failed, does not have a strong enough connection to the hardware, or a driver for it has been corrupted or lost.

I wish I knew what else to suggest.
