Fairphone 2 bottom module - not charging anymore properly

[cgrid]

Hi there,
I am having severe issues charging my FP2, the connector is wobly and the speaker doesn’t work anymore I can only call people with a headphones. The latter I could deal with, but the charging is an issue indeed…

Does anyone have a spare part bottom module? I am based in the Netherlands.

PS: I find it strange that this phone is sold as modular though when you actually need a component you cant buy it … :((((

FP2 Bottom Module: Repair broken µUSB port and or mic

@JohnHughes (thanks again) send me two broken bottom Modules some days ago. This one has a defekt µUSB port.

I will try to resolder the joints and hope the bottom module will be able to do its work…

Hi,
Hang on for a while. Some FP2s may come on the market shortly, for use or for spare parts. People sometimes donate to Angels, so you might get in touch with a local Angel about this. Might be able to help with a repair job too.
Hope things work out for you
