Hmm thats gonna be a hard one to find...your best bet is to go to a local Phone repairing service and ask them if they can get it for ya. Or you can contact LG themselfs and ask for a replacement .
Goodluck mate.

Cheapest would be find a broken up nexus 4 on eBay for like 150-200 and switch the boards or become a master solder

[Q] Replace 3G version Display with other model?

Dear all,
I couldn't find any related topic yet with a quick search so I hope I wont get blamed for not finding the correct thread.
Sadly my Display from my 3G Nexus 7 broke yesterday. (A ****ty day for many reasons... not only this one)
Now I was thinking to buy a used or broken Nexus 7 to replace the complete front part.
Does anyone know if I could use just any of the Nexus 7 models to do that, or if I have to stick to the 3G model?
Of course it might be cheaper to buy just a small 8GB version and use that panel.
Thank you for any help regarding that topic.
Regards

There's another thread somewhere asking this same question, sadly the display of the WiFi model won't work on the 3g model because the screws are in the wrong places and stiff just won't fit right. Best bet is pay Asus to fix it or a local repair shop

I've been scouring eBay trying to get a non cracked screen for my WiFi 32gb. Long story short it's been dawn near impossible to get a "will not boot but has an intact screen" auction for under a $110 shipped.
Contact ASUS, they will do it for around $200 based on my chats with their employees online.

200$ is quite a number. Then I could almost buy a new one. Why do they change the screw position for almost the same product???
Scheiße.

Anybody knows this?
Is the Display of the 16GB or the 32GB without 3G compatible with the 32G 3G model?

Nexus 7 Wifi motherboard on a Nexus 7 3G chassis

Hello,
I have recently bricked my nexus 7 3G trying to update to 4.3. It is in APX mode with no easy solution.
I was thinking about buying in ebay a nexus 7 wifi 16GB motherboard. The idea is to change the nexus 7 3G motherboard for the this one.
I have doubts if the wifi motherboard will fit in the chassis and if all the rest components are the same so all wires and connections and battery will work.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!

My advice is to add those 30$ for the 3G version, if you don't know exactly what you're doing, you might screw them up both while swapping motherboards. Also, isn't ROM (or wherever system is) memory soldered onto the motherboard?
Right now first gen N7s are really cheap because everyone is selling them, I'm sure someone on XDA has one to sell, and you can lookup devices whole history based on users posts.
I don't really understand what exactly is you're trying to achieve by swapping MoBos? Have you done this before?
also have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41860081&postcount=8 you probably have, but still.
Edit:
I had to re-read you post a couple of times to understand exactly what you're after, and here are my thoughts:
1) why buy wifi MoBo, if you can get 3G MoBo? It would make the whole process much simpler.
2) get a cracked screen 3G N7 on ebay, take it's MoBo and put it in you current N7. Throw away your current MoBo.
3) buy a fully working used N7 off ebay (or swappa). Sell your N7 for someone with cracked screen.
4) buy cracked screen N7, replace screen with your current one, sell it, add 100$ and buy new 2nd gen N7
if you do swap mobos, this might come in handy:

good luck!

I want a wifi Mono because it is cheaper. In a quick search in ebay you can find 16gb Mono for around 30$ or less and 3 MoBos are less common and much more expensive, around 130$
Personally 3 is not a must for me now. When I bought the no this was the only model and I didn't care to pay those extra bucks.
But according to how I use the tablet (mostly reading and video at home) I know 16gb with no 3h is ok.
I have the skills to change the mobo so that won't be a problem at all.
What I want to know is that a wifi MoBo would work in 3 chassis.
Thanks

It seems like the 3g and WiFi have different mobos, it may not fit, screw holes are most likely different.

Hi Mach... thanks for answering.
That´s just my fear. But in ebay there some motherboards with the whole chasis. For example, take a look at these two 16GB and this 32GB 3G. The frame are pretty similar. I have compared them from the photos and it looks the screw holes and connectors for battery, screen, speakers blah blah, are in the same location.
And as you can see, the price is totally different!
I wanted to know if there is someone with some experience could know that for sure.
Thanks!

Can I replace tow nexus 7 ( 2012 3g 32gb ) mainboard ?
Nexus A broken tuche
Nexus B in apx only

how much should it cost to replace a screen?

I managed to shatter the screen on my nexus 7, what am i looking at paying to replace the screen, also are there any good sites to buy the replacement digitizer(or whole screen replacement)

Ebay
I found a nexus 7 on ebay that didn't power on (Actually got it to power on) for $40. You may pay a little more or even less but it's definitely cheaper than buying a new one.It may take a little time but for me I got more time than money

around 65$ in ebay from china sellers - (glass + digitizer + tools free)
