D802/LS980 hardware differences - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I'm trying to buy a screen replacement for my LG G2. I bought an LG G2 ls980 from China("new", presumably refurbished) and the screen is collecting scratches very quickly. I can buy a replacement for D802 for ~15$, but I've read somewhere that screen in those phones are different. Does anybody know anything about that?
The screen I can buy looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, are the back covers any different? I don't mean aesthetics, but LS980 and D802 have different gsm/wcdma/lte bands, and the antena is on the back cover-would it make a difference?

Hermes for sale
Hello,
What is the history? What level of modification? Acessories with it?
Thanks in advance.

It would come with the power cord and phone. It has a rom on it, but I just know Black XP. Beyond that, I don't know what apps it has. You could easily flash it with a rom from here.
$200?
US Dollars?
Yes, but my coworker that I was selling it for no longer works with me and I don't have his number. Sorry.

Broken touch panel, help?

So some things happened and my Nexus 7's touch screen got junked.
I've sent the device to ASUS support hoping they would fix it at reasonable price...
I was wrong. They want to charge me almost 75% of the damn price for an LCD change.

This is 210 USD. Any leads on cheaper ways to fix the damn display?
Get a faulty unit from somewhere like Ebay/Craiglist, but make sure the fault aint the screen.
Then take the screen off the faulty one, and replace it onto yours?

Bricked LG G2

Hey guys, I recently got a LG G2 steal - all the original bezel stickers, lcd stickers still intact. The catch - it doesn't work and the seller is selling it for cheap thus why.
Bought it as a project phone and am wondering if I'm able to salvage the phone .
It is not able to enter:
1) fastboot
2) no recovery
3) download
Tried the method but to no avil.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
Plugging it into USB, it shows the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Opening up, this is the picture of the motherboard.
Led cover seems to have melted.
Would there be a way to salvage this?
or is there anyway any D802 logicboards out for sale that you can point me to.
Thanks alot chaps!

Have I ****ed up my S4?

Glass of my father's S4 was broken so I tried to repair it. When pulling of the glass some of this black film (?-look at the picture) came of aswell. The display is not turning on anymore, the phone just vibrates and then the led glows in blue.

What you pulled off was the AMOLED display. So, now you need to replace the entire display. You'll probably do better looking on Swappa for another S4, as the prices of the devices on Swappa are reasonable, being roughly the cost to purchase a replacement display and midframe combination. Display/midframe combinations though are readily available on ebay and other outlets.
That's what I thought. Then I'll get him a new phone.

Nexus 7 touch unresponsive

I have been using this device for more than 5 yrs. Recently screen rotation was not working so I tried to repair it by myself after watching some videos and forums. It was an easy process but due to my curiosity I dug into the hardware some more. During the process I mistakenly broke a piece from ZIF connector which was connected to the display. I don't know whether this could do anything to the touch. Now the touch becomes unresponsive. I am also thinking that the digitiser could be faulty but not ready to invest in a new one without knowing the real reason. Why this connector is for. Could this be the culprit? If so do I need to change the daughterboard? You can see the picture
