I have a working LG G3 screen (44 pin connector) that I'm trying to jumper wire to a LG Zone 4/Aristo 2/Phoenix 4 (Same phone 210) with no screen (40 pin connector). I have the connector pin outs for both but I want to know is this possible to do?? Scenario: I'm on a deserted island and can't buy a replacement screen for my Zone 4. I know it's going to be a long and tedious task but are the voltages even compatible enough to attempt this?
Please contact me at s.e.davis8304@gmail.com or amebrizee@gmail.com if you know anyone who can help me with this information. Thank you.
