I had to unplug then plug-in the display plug four times before the touch screen started working, I'm glad I tested it out before reassembling the rest of the parts. I don't know why it happened, but after inserting the SIM/SD cards it stopped responding again, I powered back down, checked the connections, reinserted the cards, powered up, and (thankfully) it was working. I finished assembly, and have power cycled several times and everything seems good so far, hopefully it was just a loose connection and now that it's closed up tight it will continue to work. If your touch screen doesn't respond, try seating the plug again.
