So my FP1U is about 18 months old (with a new battery 6 months ago).
A few weeks ago the phone froze. Eventually I removed and replaced the battery.
However now the phone shows no sign of activity; nothing on the screen, no vibration and no charging led.
Testing the battery with a multimeter shows a good voltage, and the battery contacts in the phone also show a good voltage when the phone is plugged in- so i think it’s charging.
I’ve attempted a hard reset, without success.
I’ve tried different chargers.
I also contacted support, but haven’t heard back for 2 weeks.
Firstly, does anyone know what component might have failed?
Do people think this would/wouldn’t be covered under the warranty?
i think i have a similar problem. 3 years my first Fairphone (1) works.
But tomorrow it stopped completly, without any accidant (no fall, no liquid nearby) - just off.
No reaction at all from the phone and no red LED, when trying to load it.
Am i right, by guessing that in this case a battery replacement will not work?
