Changed the lcd/digitizer , everything work except the digitizer !!!

ok, so here's my story, I bought a Iphone 2g with a defective digitizer (wasn't working on the lower section of the screen) and I bought a new lcd/digitizer (cause they are sticked together as you guys probably know). I managed to disassemble the Iphone and put the new screen in. The new lcd works perfectly however the digitizer doesn't work at ALL !!!

does anybody know which of the 4 motherboard wires is for the digitizer ?

I tried to unplug and plug them many times though :S ...

one of my friend told me that it might have something to do with the firmware ? that I should update it to a newer one ?

thanks !

ok thanks! Well the lcd/digit just arrived from china (bought it on ebay, the seller had a very good rating)

I tried to buy from my chinese supplier buy he said that people had complained about quality. I have bought from UK buyer from ebay and had no problems. Pot luck I suppose.

alright thanks...

I would try to make sure that the digit wire is pluged in correctly, but yesterday while working on it, one of these wires between the motherboard and the battery accidentally broke...


any ideas what I should do?

I got a 15watts soldering iron, so I tried to solder it, but the "lead" that is still on the motherboard just won't melt...

maybe 15 watts is not enough? but i'm kinda scare. Do I risk to damage the motherboard if it heats too much while trying to melt the lead?

thanks.
