Interoperability btwn 930 & Icon

[kwambe5]

So my wife dropped her Icon on the pavement and cracked the screen. I've replaced plenty on screens before, but was wondering if the digitizer from the 930 would properly work in the icon. I would probably change the whole frame with digitizer and LCD because that gold one looks sick and would love to get rid of Verizon's awful logos. Just need to know if the parts will fit. Thanks!

I am reasonably confident it can be done, but I don't know with 100% certainty.

Yeah, that's my issue too! I am pretty sure, but would like to be, at least 99% sure before I spend money on parts.

PM member @gordonfink, he should be able to confirm.

Same here, remember seeing some review of someone pulling apart the 930 and ICON to compare them. The person doing the video could not see any difference on hardware or layout for the boards.

I would say YES but, with out doing it myself, I cant be 100%...

they are the same phones dude, I just wonder if its even worth it anymore, the icon can be found for about 100-150$ on ebay, while buying both the screen+middle housing costs about 60+40$ not including shipping
