Question

Can the touchscreen be replaced?

Community Answer

Yes, you can replace the screen by ordering a screen and (touch) digitizer (touch). You can either go to a professional and have him fit the screen for you, or do it yourself by finding the edge of the screen and using a special tool in order to claw it open and then remove the screen and replace. It is quite basic and easy for beginners to do. If in doubt, go to a professional to prevent further damage.

What is the model of this LG G2 battery, and how can I get it?

It is LG D800. Only get a certified LG battery brand - no off brands or generic batteries. They will destroy your phone.

Warnings

Work as slowly and as gently as possible when removing and lifting parts up and out of your LG G2 to avoid permanently damaging any parts. Any internal phone parts that are damaged while removing the battery could result in your phone not working properly later on, as well as a voided warranty.
