iPad digitizer help

[LilMerkEm1889]

Alright guys, I need help. Basically my dad got hold of a water damage ipad air *didnt know it was water til I opened it*. Digitizer was cracked and unresponsive. I opened it up and saw pic related. I cleaned it up and put a new digitizer but the ipad still doesnt sense touch. So is there anyway to fix this other than buying a new board or no? Id hate to see a 128GB ipad air go to waste when it taunts me with a welcome screen.

You should replace the glass as well and that may solve the problem. Gadget Menders sells pretty good replacement parts.
