Charging port fell out, looking for a FP1 user in east of netherlands

[Boudewijn_van_Veen]

Hi there,

My Charging port fell out and i am now looking for somebody with a FP1 to help to charge the battery one more last time so i can make some backups. I am living in the east of the Netherlands (Enschede) so if somebody is around to help that would be great.

Any other solutions are also welcome offcourse
