I have a lg vz8300 verizon flip phone. I think the earpiece has gone bad because I can’t hear when someone calls me. I bought a new lg vz8300 but verizon won’t activate this phone anymore. Can I take the motherboard out of my old phone and put it in my new phone. Then it wouldn’t have to be activated.
Hi, Where is the “can’t hear problem” located, in the earpiece receiver or in the motherboard? If it is the receiver it may be easier to swap the receiver but you can swap the motherboard if the two phones are the exact same model. If it is in the motherboard then it makes no difference. It won’t work in either phone as the network details are stored in the motherboard of the “faulty” phone.
Just change the sim card. It should work. I have had phones that they said they couldn’t connect and I took the sim card out of a working phone and put it in and try it. If not I don’t see why you shouldn’t be able to change the board if it’s the same model of phone
