F7 replacement screen (LG870)

[creed10]

Has anybody been able to successfully order and replace their touch screen for the F7 (Boost Mobile)? Mine cracked recently, so I ordered another one. I have looked all over Amazon and eBay and was unable to find one for this particular model. I ordered one, but it's for the US780. Please don't give me anything about "the US780 and LG870 use the same screen" cause that's a bunch of crap; I just noticed the difference like ten minutes ago. So can anybody help at all? I bought this phone after the first one got stolen, and it cracked a week later... (I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen was just shattered.)
Please and thank you...

After a few decades of repairing cellphones, I'll give you the same advice I give anyone contemplating doing a hardware repair without at least a few months of experience repairing cellphones (using duds, and under the instruction of someone experienced) - DON'T! The usual outcome is that you break something (usually a cable connector latch), so you have to replace that. When you do that you break something else. Eventually you have to replace something big, like the motherboard. When you finally admit defeat, you've spent more than an outright buy of a new phone would have cost you.

Bring it to a good repair shop, pay them the labor and profit and know that you'll get back a working phone in a couple of days.

alright. I'll take your advice on that

After a few decades fixing computers, cell phones, digital cameras, TVs, and many more electronics I'll give you an advise. You'll never learn if you don't do it and take the risk, yes, you might break something, we all have, and whoever dare to say they haven't their just lying. My advice, take the risk that's the only way we learn. Now also keep in mind that electronic repair is not for everyone, but if you really want to learn there is only one way, getting your hands on and eventually messing something up Good luck and don't give up by people trying to intimidate your will to learn.
