Motherboard and Water Damage Questions

[Xandersamsung]

Hello, my samsung galaxy s3 recently took on some water damage to the mother board. I want to know if I can buy a motherboard without the chips, and just swap my chips onto it, or is that not possible?

Id try n find someone selling an s3 on Ebay etc with a broken screen for a nice cheap price
As long as u know your display is ok, thats the most expensive part tbh and you could just put your display onto the other ones body :thumbup:

P.s, the swapping chips thing probably isnt gona happen realisticly. The mother board IS a bunch of chips :beer:

The best that I can find is one with a broken lcd for $150, but that is the same price as the motherboard, and are you saying that it is impossible or a waste of time to switch the chips, because i have a ton of spare time?

 

[funkylogik]

lol im sure its possible mate but why not just swap the whole thing?

I do believe the "chips" are hardwired onto the board.

They are soldered to the main board. This would entail a ton of effort to break the solder points and the resolder everything. Best bet us to find one with a broken screen and then swap the screens.
