Apple watch touch not registering.

Clearly, you didn't see the context. As I had said, I recently replaced my old and broken screen with a fresh and new one from IFIXIT (a genuine replacement part). While it originally worked (albeit with no touch) now it doesn't display anything after reseating the cables, and idrk if touch works either. Is there anything I can do to try to get rid of this issue other than directly replacing the part?

I've seen its regarding new dispplay and as i mentioned sometimes even new elements have some issue, but lets assume its not the case here.

If your old display is still around and shows any kind of image, you could try to connect it back to watch to see if it shows anything. If yes then you know that problem is most likely with "new" display.

If noone of the displays works then there is posibility that flex cable that goes from matherboard got damaged, in that case you can solder a new one on its plays tho its pretty difficult if you never done it (flex cost on ali ~3-5$).

Try to check this and then we can think of some more complex reasons for this problem.

@hirad got it, will do. The old one is pretty damaged, but It might just work.

@hirad alright. So I tried my old one, and I can confirm that the cables aren't doing their thing properly.

in that case u might want to replace the flex cables but it'll be pretty hard. its best to check a video on youtube or find a detailed guide. if u really considered repairing them plz be careful about the temperature and the position of the solder points. also, they'll be very fragile, so take care reassembling the watch.
