IPod 2nd Gen Replacement digitizer not working

digitizerhardwareipod-touchrepair

So I just ordered a new digitizer and middle frame for my 2nd Gen iPod Touch, wired everything up, and the digitizer is not recognizing any finger swipes.

I have not snapped the frame into place yet as I want to make sure I don't have to tear this thing apart again. The video's I've watched show that the digitizer "should" work when not snapped in.

Is there anything I should be looking for before marking this new digitizer as defective?

Ended up ordering a new digitizer :-(
