I hate to say it but that cable is for both the display and touchscreen.
I have heard of many cases when the hinge went bad, punctured the
cable, and screen worked but the touchscreen didn't. I would think you
need a new cable now. You might try disconnecting and reconnecting the
cable to see if it came loose a little bit, but other than it is a case
of damaged cable. The only good thing is that these parts are being
made again and you can get replacements. Although make sure you use a
good supplier, I am sure others on the list can chime in about this.
