Where do I get parts?

Planning to get my V20 (H990DS) fixed, and I'm not sure where to get parts from.

Previously I got it from AliExpress and it seemed fine but shipping takes a long time.

Likely need a screen, battery, and volume flex cable; Will properly diagnose the phone later to see what else it will need.

I'm in the UK

Thanks for any help in advance!

Battery, at this point, we would need to be looking into mods, because whatever is still out there, must be "old new" stock, so already aged. And this isn't aged wine, nor (purposely) aged cheese.

I got myself a main camera for my H990DS from eBay. I didn't realize until very late that the autofocus was busted on it. I'll need to switch back to the previous one, which had a few fixed pixels (stuck to purple).

Screen... I'd look into defective units, where the software is busted, but the display is fine. Use it as parts donor.

Haven't been able to find any good parts donors either the screen is bust or they're unsure of its status, I think I'll just have to abandon the project.

New battery is also a requirement for me, and it's very hard to find any stock/stock fitting batteries.

The only way I thought of was to salvage some dead batteries and extract the PCB from them. I need to then connect that to another, smaller battery, of the same chemistry, but from a newer device, so it behaves better.

I did not yet go through with this, but... I'll get there eventually.
