After separating it, we take a closer look at it's insides.

The interesting thing is that after we separated it, the screen worked (no black spots or lines) but the touch didn't. This is interesting, because the touch and the pixels are integrated into the same layer. We will try to find out why.

It looks like the touch has a separate cable than the screen. This is interesting, because the touch and the pixels are integrated into the same layer, as said above. Note the touch screen controller chip in red.

Taking a closer look, it appears that we have cut the touch cable while tediously separating the screen. The adhesive securing the display is no joke.
