My phone died and I've since picked up a used one that was on the same network (Sprint). However, the physical condition on my dead phone is a little bit better and showed no signs of any wear, and I know the camera, screen and everything physical was working perfectly before it randomly went dead on me. If I swap the motherboard from the used phone to my dead phone's body, since the MEID sticker is not on the motherboard, will I need to activate the phone using the old or the new MEID? How does the SIM card play into this? I still have the old one... do I use that or the new one? Should I just wipe and upgrade the new (used) phone and just accept the condition?
