FIXED flickering display in 5mins thx to howto-video

I’m a very happy FP3+ user, and I just wanted to let everyone here, and especially the makers of Fairphone know: Thank you!

I had exactly the same issue as described here, for example:

Flickering display and deffect touchfunction in lockscreen

Hello, my brand new FF3+ has arrived and after setting it up and restarting it a flickering startet to appear every now and then. When restarting or starting in safemode the screen is clear and does not flicker. But when I enter the Lockscreen a strange flickering happens randomly and everytime when I use the touchscreen. I`m hesitant to open up the screen so I first wanted to ask if this is a know issue or if it is most likely a broken part. Thank you for your help![flicker-small-min]

I was about to buy a new display module - and veeeeery happy it’s still available, but then I read more forum posts here, which suggested to:

“simply try: detach screen, clean contacts, reassemble”.

Thanks to the official “HowTo replace the display of your Fairphone 3" video on youtube clip” - I literally dared to fix my problem in a short break between work.

It took me 5 minutes.

I am so so so happy!
I just wanted to let you know.
It’s totally worth it, having a vendor who wants their products to be kept alive - and supported.
And thanks to everyone who posts their experiences and solutions online (here).
