Water damaged my 8.3, now it's dead and I am sad.
I remember there was a manual somewhere in this forum of how to tear an 8.3 apart (to exchange a battery I think it was)
Does anyone know where that thread is?
Right here:

I've got an ion that was replaced twice bc of faulty Mic. The third one that went bad before I got my LG optimus G has been gathering dust. I found a website RepairsUniverse.com that sells the LCD flex cable that includes a new Mic unit for 19.99 I figured what the hell, and pulled the trigger. While I wait for it to arrive I figured I'd check in on the forum I abandoned so long ago. This is unfortunately an AT&t model so no boot loader unlock for me. (Unless) something has changed? I'm going to have this ion splayed open for a bit replacing parts... anyone with any JTAG skills wanna comment on anything I could try?
In the interim I'd like to read your thoughts on what the fastest fully functional and best cam ROMs are avail for LB ions.
I might repurpose this device but I'd like to keep its main functions working best as possible.
Cheers
I'll have full pics high quality of tear down and reassembly updated later.
Scribed henceforth from thy G pad.
I have been using Aoba with a bunch of personal touches and I am very happy with it. I was having a bit of a battery drain but figured out today it was location based wifi causing it. I went with a non Z1 camera as it still had issues. I used the mod for existence to get a more stock camera and also used the video fix to get it sorted. Optimo's 96 port has been a blessing for these lt28at devices.
So, my G3 is completely dead, failing to boot. I know the screen and battery are absolutely fine as I get battery warnings displayed when no battery is inserted or when it's actually dead. I've decided the cheapest option would be for me to replace the main board and have found an exact replacement for my model (16GB, 2GB RAM, D855).
Seen a teardown on YouTube and having taken other devices apart before (once worked for LG themselves) it looks easy enough for me to do. My only question is, will I experience any problems replacing the MoBo or should it be a simple process in regards to getting it to boot?
Sorry if I haven't bee specific enough, I'll try to explain as best as I can if anyone wants to know more.
Hey guys, I bricked my g3 once, and I asked someone to unbrick it, during that time, I was using an old phone but now it's fixed and I use it again, the temperature is usually on 40C, I'm not sure if that's normal. Before I bricked it, I do get some issues of it heating up but a lot says it's normal. Right now, I'm not really sure if 40C is a normal temperature for my G3, or did I just got used to the different phone I used before getting my G3 back to work? If it's not normal, is there anything I can do to prevent it from heating up?
EDIT: Can I ask the mods to move this thread on the g3 section, Idk how I ended up posting it on moto 360

I bought a used one for cheap because it had screen fading problem. I knew I could fix it and now I have working G3! Basically you need to put pressure on the RAM chip because it lost some solder connections to the soc. I recommen using something thermally conductive.
I need to buy a used LG G3 D851 off eBay. I'm trying to determine if there is a way to find out the wear & usage on the G3. Looking at the physical condition of the phone isn't useful (cases & screen protectors protect against wear & tear). After buying (and returning) two broken G3s I've learned that "refurbished" means "we cleaned it with a towel", and that "new" means "a used phone in the original box".
As I understand it the only thing on any mobile phone that really wears is the camera which degrades over time. I thought that there was a hidden menu option that had an entry on how many photos were taken, which would help, but I can't find it.
I was hoping there would be a hidden menu timer or counter somewhere that can tell me how often the phone has been used?
Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :good:
I have had close to a dozen LG G3s over the last 4 years. I have been trying to find a decent D855, but run into D850s , 851s, LS990s and VS985 for parts.
The biggest problem with these is the poor manufacturing of the components on the motherboard. The phones are dirt simple to take apart and swap parts on, and, by now, you should assume that the phone you are about to buy is not what you think it is.
Like George Washington's axe. Someone swapped the handle, then someone swapped the blade...
If you trust the seller to be honest, get a used one that has had little use and ask the seller if it bootloops, has wifi issues, bluescreen, fadeout...these are all motherboard problems.
Thanks @rs899 that's the problem I've had. In one case I bought what was supposed to be a D851 but it was a screen-locked LS999. Another one had WiFi that didn't work. In every case the phones were advertised as refurbished and "passed our extensive in-house diagnostics".
In every situation I had to file a complaint with eBay to get a refund as the seller was not cooperative.
At this point in the phone's life, it is unreasonable to spend much on these. I myself put a couple of phones together out of parts , used them a few days, and sold them as "used" on ebay fairly cheaply. If anyone complains in 30 days I will have them ship it back and refund them (or just simply refund them). The motherboards are a time bomb. The MBs in the ones I sold may not have been used much and may last for some period of time...or not.
I have a D-851 that I thought was pretty reliable. It has started to forget my wifi. The end may be near for that one.
@rs899 thanks for the info. BTW I have long fingers, and the back buttons on the LG G3 are perfect for me (I looked at the G4 but it is famously unreliable even when new & too big for my needs).
My daily driver is a rooted LG G3 running stock KitKat. I'd like to upgrade to a Marshmallow ROM but I'm nervous about losing functionality on the phone if the upgrade goes bad. So my plan is buy another LG G3 D851 and do the upgrade on that, then transfer my nandroid backup & microSD card to the new one. Maybe I'll give it one more shot on eBay & see if it works out. If you have a d851 for sale DM me your eBay ID & I'll check it out!
I don't have anything for sale right now. I have a D-850 I am playing with and figured out how to put Lineage 17.1 on, but now it drops wifi. I have that D851, but I don't trust it either. A very bad D855. Nothing I would either use or sell to my worst enemy...

You wrote that you replace parts on these G3 phones. Do you know if the ear speaker on the front of the phone loses clarity over time? I'm wondering if I should go through the trouble to replace mine. Thanks
