I've replaced a digitiser on an ipad 7, and it had ghost input even after replacement. I read somewhere online that the battery connector sometimes has to be disconnected for a bit after replacing the digitiser, and this worked in my case.
Can someone confirm if you replace the battery, will it work as before the google battery fiasco? Ie, is the charging on the 4a based on the IMEI number of the phone, or the serial of the battery?
