Hello,
recently my Galaxy S3 got wet, and the touch screen has been acting erratically since. At first it was unreliably responsive, still usable but freezing and scrolling problems, and at that time the 'soft' menu and back keys were not working. Then, the touch screen became totally unresponsive and detects no touching. The soft keys now make a noise when pressed and work as far as I can tell, cancelling the power button press menu with the back key. The speakers work, it boots, but now after I factory reset via the tri-button method, I cannot proceed past the initialization which requires the touch screen.
So the rest of the phone seems fine, just the touch screen is not working. Do these symptoms seem like I would need to replace the glass screen, or both the screen and the digitizer?
I'm hesitant to have it repaired by a store, and warranty is not a factor. I am comfortable repairing it myself, I am just wondering if anyone has more experience and can tell me what they think would be necessary parts for me to order and install.
Thank you.
