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.

I don't no where the problem is, all I know is when someone calls me I can't hear them. they can hear me. I have to put my loudspeaker on to talk to them
So, it might be the receiver.
Hi @barbee ,
If you can't test or swap the receiver, since it is connected to the display board and not directly to the motherboard, if you swap motherboards then as long as the receiver in the new board works and the problem is in the old receiver and not the old motherboard then it should work.
Click on the device icon at the top right of the page to get to the screen housing replacement guide which shows how to open the phone so that the motherboard can be accessed and replaced.
Good luck
Cheers

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

Hi @barriphone ,
Don't know about a VZ8300 as I can't find any info on that model but a VX8300 is a CDMA phone which has no SIM card
Cheers.
@jayeff if the phone wasn't a CDMA phone before you can't change the board. It won't work on the CDMA network if it's a GSM phone
There is no SIMS card
You’re right I put the wrong letter It’s the VX8300 @jayeff

I have a good mother board but my phone is cracked. Will I lose information if I put good mother board in a new phone. Will I lose all info???

The information is on the motherboard but do a backup anyway to the cloud or a PC if you can, just in case.
If you have a backup, then most likely you won't need it, if you don't have one, then most likely you will. Murphy's Law
