Tried that, only yielded an 90 dollar version or a 35 dollar version that might be fried. I'm looking for cheaper and reliable.
You won't find it sadly unless locally.
I haven't been able to find spare parts for this phone under 100$. Believe me I'm also looking.
I see by your tag you got an N4, are you trying to repair one for a friend?

Not my tag sadly,
I'm with verizon. But I bought a phone (gnex) on ebay thought the seller didn't know how to charge the thing, turned out the motherboard was fried, I got a semi good deal out of it, I just need a cheap motherboard, no storage needed xD
You can try to find a broken phone and see if the motherboard is still good.

Can't do that, the motherboard has the ESN, (From my re-search)
I already bought a broken phone off of ebay, it has a dead motherboard.
The memory chips is on the motherboard, and it's unlikely that you get it cheap, it is the brain of the device.

Already dead though, phones not fixable though.

Seller said they dropped it in water. It holds a charge but will turn off shortly after being powered on. They're asking $100. Worth it or should I pass? Sounds like a hardware problem so I don't think its fixable without dishing out a lot of money.

I think you answered your own question. I'd say its definitely not worth it considering a lot of factors like how long it was in the water, what they did after they pulled it out, etc etc...
Replacing the logic board is cheaper than replacing the screen, so as long as the screen isn't cracked it shouldn't be that bad. However, you're not going to be able to easily find a replacement logic board yet. If it is well and truly broken, your best bet is to keep the screen and housing, then buy another Nexus that has a broken screen and frankenstein it together.
I'm looking for the back housing to a Verizon one, if anyone knows where I can get parts for them?

Not a good idea in my opinion!
Its like buying a used car with some issues and spending a lot of money to fix it's known bad issues then after sometime new bad issues will come up and you'll keep fixing it and so on that if u bought a new one wit would have been cheaper! Electronics are even worst!

Cars are different, though. Any issue with an engine that completely prevents it from running is not going to be traceable to any one particular part, especially if all of the parts are really old.
These phones literally have four major components that are easily replaceable, and only two of these components are going to keep the phone from being operational. If you replace both the logic board and the screen, it's practically a new phone.

I have looked everywhere and can't find a vendor that sells the GN motherboard.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Best chances are to buy a broken GN on ebay and use that.
Any other options?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
the motherboard has the serial number and everything so you cant just buy one unless you get a whole phone. i would get a faulty nexus with a broken lcd or something like biscuitownz said.
I have a VZW Nexus with a bad charging port, not longer have VZW. Was thinking about "parting" it out, assuming there was enough interest.
I would be interested in the screen complete with the frame. How much would you want for it and what shape is it in?
There are a few very light scratches, nothing to obtrusive or long. As far as price, I have no clue... what's it worth?
The last one I saw on ebay used went for 45. Would you be willing to take 50 plus shipping costs? Attached is a picture of the part I would need. IT is the entire screen with the frame attached. It is glued to the frame so it would be easier for you to remove as well as for me to install if it was in one piece. Also a good take apart video is on the following page,
youtube.com/watch?v=B5fZzZANLC4
OK... now I just would like some interest in the rest of the phone.
You could buy a new USB board, put it in and sell the whole phone for a much higher price.

My radio is hooped. I would buy that part from you. My phone is a WindMobile GSM unlocked variant. Not sure if parts are compatible.

I unfortunately cracked my galaxy nexus screen. I am still able to use touch screen functionality but i hate looking at cracks. Do I have to buy a complete LCD/digitizer combo to replace or can I just get LCD replacement? Any help would be much appreciated.

I would replace the whole combo if I were you. The glass and digitizer is so close welded together it isn't for anyone to separate and change one of those two.
I don't know if the glass is even sold separately?
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Check out this thread, he managed to only replace the glass. However, I'd say that it's probably more difficult/finicky than replacing the entire assembly.

Fix it. How? Its soldered onto the mainboard
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It only has six points of contact and would be fairly easy for someone skilled with a soldering iron. If it isn't your forte, you could probably find a local electronics shop that would do it for you for a reasonable fee.
Hey man..I read your post and I have my old nexus..it is missing the battery door and the back is scratched but screen is 10 out of 10.. I would post it to sell but I do not believe I am able to sell on here I would let it go for like 50 bucks or 40 even..

Dude, trust me Its very hard even for experienced technicians

It is relatively hard if you don't know what you are doing. Need an disassembly guide. A hot air gun and a soldering station.
Oh and some flux.

yeahh I sent it in for repair and they said they could not repair it....then on top of that my note2 got stolen Friday. I'm using a old windows phone 7....its killing me
I had mine apart last night to do the USB port repair (replace the whole ribbon) and looked at the sim slot while it was apart. I am no expert, but I have replaced surface mount chips before that are much more difficult then what this repair would be. A fine tip temp control iron, some desolder braid (along with solder and flux), and it is pretty straight forward. Wouldn't need to take it apart any further then just removing the back.
If you end up wanting to get rid of it for savagehax offer, I would be interested in yours, that being it would be missing a battery back and have a defective sim slot.
Speaking of which, are you sure the sim slot is the defective piece? It'd be worth it to put a meter on there and measure continuity between the pins and solder points.
Good luck with whatever you end up doing.
I had a sim adapter in it and when I pulled it out I guess it rip some pins.....cell phone repair pros told me they could repair it they put in a new sim reader and all...
