Small part of touch screen doesnt work ?

Ipod Touch 2nd generation, 32 gb.

Bought it off ebay a little over a month ago then a week later, I woke up one morning and the top half inch or so of the touch screen wont respond.

Everything else works perfect. Its only that small part.
Any Ideas ?

I've restored it twice and it didnt change anything. Says its up to date. Software version 4.2.1
No cracks or scratches .

You may need to reconnect the digitizer or replace a new digitizer.

Any idea how much that would cost to replace it?

Do they come unplugged easily ? Cause it was literally just sitting on a shelf over night and in the morning it wasn't working.

It's not that hard to replace a touch screen. Go to you tube and watch on how to disassemble an itouch 2G.

Digitizer cost is about 12 dollars. You can get the digitizer on Ebay.
