Good Afternoon Nairaland engineers and everyone. I have this LG v50 that I got from AliExpress sometime last year. I didn't use it for more than 2 weeks before it died. I was using a car charger to charge because of the light situation in my area that time. The car charger was shaking and while I was adjusting it, the phone rebooted to the LG logo. After which some pixels showed on the screen and it went off then. Never came up since then. The pixels that showed looked like the ones you would see on tv when playing CD (Compact Disc) on your DVD. When the CD is cracking. Those were the exact pixels I saw.

I suspect that the charger must have fried the panel (Motherboard) hence it's refusal to turn on.

I want to know if the motherboard replacement won't die again if I change it. I mean if it is advisable to get a replacement on AliExpress.

Should I go ahead and get a replacement since I barely used the phone for 2 weeks? Or I should get another phone?
