[Q] E975 problem, other Optimus G Versions working in Europe? - LG Optimus G (International)

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?

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] Physical characteristics of E975 vs other E97x

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?

LG Optimus Pro ATT E988

Hi all,
I bought a Lg G Pro on ebay last week ; model E988. Seller claimed it to be ATT phone, but according to what I've read so far on this forum, ATT version should be E980. Am I correct ?
The E980 is ATT. But the E988 is still GSM. If you dont want to go through the hassle of sending it back just get it unlocked. Or better yet try it when you get it, it may very well be unlocked.

[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.
