Dear Community, yesterday unfortunately my FP4 fell down from the car seat (shotgun) and hit the floor mat. First I thought, just the back cover opened, but then I realised that it was the display that was not in place anymore and the cable that links it to the core was cut in two. What can I do no…

you can order a new display from the Fairphone online store and repair it yourself. here’s the official guide so that you can gauge whether it’s something you’d be able to follow: Replace the Display | HOW TO FAIRPHONE 4

From my point of view the screen has a design flaw .

Hi, it looks to me that this won’t solve it. The display replacement step by step guide clearly says, make sure the cable stays intact, and as you can see in the picture I’ve included, the broken cable is the problem. That’s what I learn from it - if you order a new screen, there’s no cable included…

The new screen comes with the cable connected. Just plug it into the B2B-connector gently and you are done.

Okay, thanks to fpbonn and yvmuell for this information. I will order a replacement display right now then and hope it’ll arrive shortly.
