Is this Note 3 economically repairable?

Please see photo attached of my Note 3. Is this a logic board issue or digitizer issue perhaps? Or maybe something easier?

Any advice would be great.

Cheers!

No one?

Not a digitizer issue - that would cause the screen to appear normal but not respond. (And the S-Pen would work - that's not done by the digitizer.)

I'd guess, without actually having the phone, that it's a motherboard issue. Does it pay to repair? Depending on the carrier, that can run from $50-$130 on eBay - plus labor. But you can buy one on Swappa for probably less than the repair bill.

Tried cleaning the mobo with electrical cleaner but it was no good. Bought a new mobo off ebay for £69, fitted it earlier and it's fine again.
