[Q] Physical characteristics of E975 vs other E97x - LG Optimus G (International)

I wanted to find out what exactly are the differences (aside from baseband/freq differences), physically between the E975 and other E97x models.
Long story short, I cracked my screen on my lgog (E970) and finding a replacement part (in-stock and not at a exuberant price) is a challenge.
However, replacement parts for the E975 appear to be more readily available and for reasonable prices.
So, I ask the E975 experts in this section, what are the differences? Can a E975 screen/digitizer/front-housing be used in a non-E975 phone?

E970 vs E975 screen

hey
do they have the exact same screens (so i can replace them)?
a screen for E970 on ebay costs about 65$ while a screen for the E975 costs about 170$!
any help would be appreciated
EDIT: my bad, E975 costs 65$, E970 costs 170$
Make sure that 65$ display is not a chinese fake.i know from experience,original spare parts don't come cheap. I changed the display on my galaxy note,almost 200 euros.i found on ebay some "originals",half the price.
So be careful,you may endup with an ordinary lcd/tft display,not ips+ true hd.

thanks for the replies guys.
i didn't think about that, kimitza, thanks for paying my attention.
130$ is still about 24% cheaper thank 170$.. thanks
there is a top rated seller in ebay from UK that sells the E975 screen for ~110$ and its written in the description that the screens he sells are genuine and its LG certified, and thats the most expensive screen for the E975 i found in ebay. the difference in price kinda tells they are different screens, but i'm not sure, since the specs are just the same. any ideas?
Don't buy oem.make sure you get it from lg and and lg only.that's my advice,but of course it's your money.

OEM mean : Original equipment manufacturer
In this case, OEM mean LG. So you are saying to not buy from LG, but to get it from LG and LG only.
There are alot of "oem"s on ebay,but delivering from china.those i targeted

[Q] E975 problem, other Optimus G Versions working in Europe?

Hello! My E975 got broken, it powers on and work but wont charge battery. I gave it to technician and he said that he need to replace motherboard to get phone fully working. Its really hard to find E975 working with cracked screen or smth in low price, so i was searching amercian ebay and their prices are better. Now the problem is if i could use LS970 or AT&T E970 in europe, i think LS970 has wrong band to use it here, but E970 would be ok but this is a little diffirent model - with microsd slot etc. Question is if i can buy LS970 and if it would work or if i could replace E970 screen with E975 one, then what about AT&T simlock?

[Q] Hardware Differences

Hi!
My Optimus G has had ghost touches for a month now, I've tried sending it in for repair but the service center says the motherboard is busted (which i doubt) and costs a fortune! it costs the same as a brand new Optimus G.
My suspicions lie in a grounded digitizer cable or a faulty digitizer altogether. I found an online retailer who sells the display/digitizer and I was wondering if I could do the repairs myself.
My Optimus G is a korean variant (F180K) and I was wondering if there's any difference between the hardware layout in the korean variant and the international variant? I haven't found any piece of info that says they're different so I'm not entirely sure but a local service center said that international and korean variants have different hardware, therefore you can't use international parts for korean variants; I was also wondering if that was true.
Any info would really help. I've tried everything software side but to no avail, the ghost touch problem is hardware related.

Is H815P different to the other models of H815?

Hi everyone,
The screen on my H815P broke. On eBay replacement screens are listed as being for the H815. Will these work? A shop in Luxembourg refused to repair my phone because of the extra "P" in my model number, which I understand means its a model sold in Latam and South Africa (strange because I bought the phone on Amazon.de).
Also, is there a way of knowing if the screen I buy really is a genuine LG screen?
Any help is really appreciated.
I think the main difference is the modem. I'm 99.99% sure that all G4 editions have the same (awesome battery hungry) screen. Also, the only way you can be certain you bought a genuine LG screen is by buying the screen from LG.
Hi. The main difference is the motherboard. H815 (no letter) can be bootloader unlocked and H815P doens´t. The rest is all the same. In case of the screen. I was replace the board from my H815P to H815 (same screen and battery) and works normally and fine.
In order to know if the screen is or not genuine, depends from shoper and rating by customers and other -buy&sell pages- matters.
If you purchase a screen, replace it without warry becausae it will work.

Cheers. I've gone through to the LG spare parts website, which belongs to an outside company and it requires the model number for the screen. How the heck am I supposed to know that?
Anyone know a link to a genuine screen that delivers in Europe? I've been checking out youtube videos and I might attempt this repair myself.

Thanks. If you know of a European supplier, please advise. I tried contacting a supposedly official LG parts supplier out of Portugal that was recommended on one of the threads here on xda but they haven't responded.
