Hello, I buyed a FP1 two years ago ( Agost 2014 ) My FP1 display is broken. A new one costs 71 €, but the cost of a new mobile with similars characteristics is about 100 €. Mi intention is to last my FP1, but it doesn’t worth economically. In my opinion 71 € for a new display was a good price …

Probably there will be no more displays for the FP1. Got this message from Fairphone “Right now, we are anticipating a situation in the near future where we will not have enough spare parts to provide repairs for the Fairphone 1, because the makers of these components have stopped producing them.”

Thank you for sharing this info with us. So the motto now is: Don’t break your FP1’s screen! :wink:
