Ok I can't be 100% sure.
There is alwais the chance it could be something else; I haven't even seen the pda.
All that I can say is that if I where your I'd be buying the digitizer.
Well I'm actually in the same situation infact I'm buying a digitizer very soon.

I'd say you have only two choices, since the pda is not working.
1) you buy the digitizer and hope for the best
2) you sell the pda to someone that is looking for parts.
You can make about 30-50 bucks out of it (I might even be interested) depending on the model.

Two suggerstions: first if you feel confident changing the digitizer, go for it.
Second, if you don't feel confortable DON't. Last guy I knew in the same situation bought the digitizer and broke the motherboard connector while replacing it. Then he ended up buying a new pda with a double expenses (new pda + digitizer for the old one). Since new models are coming out you might want to consider an update. It's easyer and by selling your broken unit you can get some extra $$ to cover the expences.

Whatever you decide let me know if you need help.
