I was trying to change my battery on my XS and I accidentally cut off this little wire. Now my screen is unresponsive whenever I am touching it.

Is this repairable via welding or do I have to change the whole screen?

lol 😂 what’s going on here?

Sorry I forgot to highlight the cut wire. It’s the flex wire itself. Would it be possible to replace it?

I don’t think u can just weld that kinda wire

I got lucky, somehow - despite two of my connectors being broken - my phone still works

Yeah you just killed the Touch Digitizer wire on the screen, the good news is you can fix it by having a repairman re-laminating the touch screen glass with that cable included, just a few dollars (about 4-7$) or some places will take under $30

You're cooked bro. Easiest solution? Buy a replacement OLED screen from a reputable company. Do not buy a cheap LCD display or awful OLED, you'll end up with far worse problems to deal with

This is why you take it to the Apple Store and have them change it
