3G replacement screen

[jannievanzyl]

Can anyone confirm if the replacement screens for the 3G and 3GS differ?

Ordered a replacement screen for a 3G but the one connector seems not to click in place and when the phone turns on the touchscreen does not respond.

Some Googling did not turn up a conclusive answer though one answer seems to indicate they're different.

Also, best place in Cpt to buy a new screen?

Tx!

PS. Got mugged yesterday while cycling so am currently sans iPhone 4. Need to get (broken) iPhone 3 working again.

iFixit says they are different parts

PS. I have a spare iPhone 3G you can borrow.

The 3G and 3GS replacement screens look exactly the same, except for a small difference in the connector.
The 3GS has a tiny back spacer in the middle of the connector wires while the 3G does not.
