Screen Dead, DIY?

I've google a bit to get me an idea that this is possible, but I kinda wanted to get a bit more feed back.

Here's the Situation....Sprint Diamond phone that no longer registers any touch. Lcd works fine, I didn't recently drop it, but I have dropped it before. I flashed and reflashed various roms from Stock to customs. I don't have TEP so no free repairs or replacements for me.

I can still make calls and hear stuff going on if I listen, but I can't any registered touches from the screen. Hard buttons work fine.

I'm pretty sure it's the digitizer...right? The terminology for all of this is a bit over my head, but I'm not afraid to open it up and replace the screen/digitizer if need be.

What I want to know is what I exactly need to replace screen or digitizer or both. Since the LCD works fine I'm assuming just digitizer.

Anyone know a good place to buy it besides ebay? Does this sound about right and would replacing this part restore touch functionality?

If anyone else has any other video's/tutorials or links to help I'd really appreciate it....

Here's what I've scrounged up so far:

break down picture by pic of a unlocked diamond looks helpful

Ok that's what I've come up with so far....Hope someone can chime in....I need good place for parts (cheap hopefully) and someone to tell me i'm on the right track or any other tips.

Thanks guys/gals
