I am new to android phones, been a die-hard blackberry user. Recently decided to try something new so my wife and I both got the new LG Optimus G E971 (rogers canada). We have both had our phones for less than 3 weeks and we have both succeeded in severely cracking our screens. Both less than 15 inch drops on carpet floor.
I cant seem to track down any parts for the 971. I can only find replacement screens for the 970 and the 973. I am wondering if anybody here knows if they are interchangeable? Can I use the screens from a 970/973 on my 971? I ask because my brother cracked his Iphone 3 screen and tried to use and screen from an Iphone 3S and they were not compatible.
Any help would be appreciated

PS. I appologize about the topic title. says e972 instead of e971
Hey so I have same problem, but my digitizer is severely cracked LCD is fine. Just wondering if I can just replace the digitizer only, as I have seen so many parts supplier selling the digitizer and LCD separately. I know it's just so much easier just to get the whole screen assembly, but looking to save where I can...
Any advice greatly appreciated..
LG says Optimus G doesnt have a digitizer. Well, actually it has one, but its build-in into LCD, so its not an additional layer you can replace.
Also the gorilla (Front glass) is laminated over LCD, which in 95% cases impossible to do by yourself at home.
My screen cracked about 1.5" from the bottom. I couldn't use any of the soft touch buttons, which made the phone virtually unusuable. I sent it away to LG via a Sasktel reseller. They just quoted the repair at $95, which is much much cheaper than I was expecting. I get it back next week
I care for my LG OG a lot, though suddenly i notice there is a small scratch on the screen, I dont understand how and when this happened + this is Gorrilla glass II we are talking about !! My friend had this nokia N8 fall over the sharp edge of the stairs-screen down, and it had '0' scratches !! I'm very disappointed, after being so much careful, despite the Gorilla glass protection it still manages to get scratched, and I never dropped it ever !!??

To take what a guy named Tim4 on the forums said :
'' It can be easily scratched with any thing which has lvl6 or higher (Cause gorilla is level 6) of the Mohs hardness scale.
In other words, you cant scratch it with keys (Level 2 to 4) in pocket, but a sand on beach (Level 7-9) will do it in few moments.)
this explain alot check out Mohs hardness scale on wiki
Thanks for the heads up !!
So I'm a newbie here, I dropped my LG OPTIMUS AT&T PHONE, and only the top part of touch screen works.
I'm wondering as I've replaced screen/digitizers on my HTC's and iPhones. But never anything this new!
My brother usually helps me, but he's not available so I turn to you all. Someone please help me. I have very important stuff on that phone and need it working asap. Long story short, I have custody court soon and a lot of my info that will help bring my kids home is on there in many different areas of phone. Plus I want my damn phone back. So question is, if the lower 3 touch buttons font work and the top half does, the crack is in lower right corner of phone, its just the glass the screen itself is not damaged, I could be wrong, but visibly looks fine. Anyone have any knowledge or can advise me on wth to do. Please
If you have recovery installed..do nandroid backup, copy it to you pc then to another optimus g. OR you could use Airdroid App to control phone through pc. I think Youtube had a video regarding disassembling...
Hi, the digitizer is broken, I just replaced mine because of this. The screen is actually really easy to replace but dont forget to use a lot of heat to remove the digitizer because its glued into place.
lg g3 858 hk broken screen and frame
Hi everybody. I´m unlucky owner of LG G3 858hk dual sim in gold. My phone fall on hard surface. Glass is broken, touch don´t work and frame has some dents too. On market in my country is only lcd touch screen plus digitizer plus frame only for version LG G3 855. Can someone tell me, if this screen with frame would work with my D858HK version? If not, where can I buy Lcd+digitizer+golden frame for 858hk version?
solved
@namor_svk what did you do? did you buy a screen? where from?
check PM
My 858HK also has broken glass, I tried but d855 lcd did not fit as dual sim has different panel to single sim phones.
Can anyone help find a solution to this?
Yep, you heard me ask if the lg g pad 8.3 v500 lcd is removable from its digitizer. To cut the story short, my lg g pad 8.3 has a cracked LCD wherein there are lines and colors running all over the screen when its on but its still functional and the touch screen digitizer is fully responsive.
I've seen a lot of parts on Ebay but it costs a lot and the lcd is always bundled with the touchscreen digitizer. I saw one ad on ebay wherein its a cracked digitizer but has a fully functional lcd and its price is way cheaper. I just need the lcd there but i dont have a clue if the LCD can be separated from the touch screen digitizer.
Some of you might tell me to just go ahead and just test it myself but i am no technician. I just plan to have it fixed by my local repair store and provide him the replacement part.
I hope someone can tell me the answer.

You can separate the two parts but it really isn't recommended.
You will spend hours doing it and will probably break one, if not both, while trying.
Search for some guides of videos on doing it, that will give you an idea of how hard it is and what tools are needed.
They really only sell them separately to get more money from you, you'll go for the cheap option and then when it fails you'll buy the assembled version.
Your choice though, I understand extremely tight budgets.
Hi everyone i need some help with my phone it fell and the touch screen stopped working. I need a new one (LCD Display Touch Screen Digitizer With Frame).
