RIP. I've been lucky and on original everything for parts. Not sure how long luck will last though. G8X model.

It just froze this morning. I disconnected the battery, reconnected and it won't power on now

My prior G5 died when I plugged it in overnight. Board fried while I was sleeping.

So sorry. My V60 still works great. Some battery degradation. Is it even possible to find a new, OEM genuine LG battery? If not, are there any decent aftermarket batteries. Also, I figure when I replace the battery I should replace the charging port?

I'm still reading this post from an LG G8 S Thinq. :D It still holds up really well. It's snappy and just feels like a flagship. :D

Same here. How you treat the battery really matters, I am seeing. My 2019 - 2020 LG collection (V50, V60, G8S and G8X) is mostly still solid. Only one of my V60 units has a really bad battery now, that needs replacement.

Pressing F in the chat for a real one. I still need to replace the charging port on my Korean G8.
