Sprint Galaxy S3 - is the esn also located on the mother board

[arcolino]

is the esn number also on the mother board or is it just on the shell of the phone? is anybody selling s3 sprint sphL710 mother boards good price? does jtag take away a bad esn number or just for bricked phone?

how do you find out the esn if you buy a mother board, just put it in phone?

Your only option is to put the motherboard inside the device and read it out that way. I don't believe the ESN will be printed on the motherboard itself at least not on other devices I have taken apart.
