I ordered a FP1 battery maybe two or tree weeks ago and I got it on timeā¦?!
In that case I guess something is wrong in the shop. I signed up for āSign up to get notified when this product is back in stockā Feb 18 and have not got any mail and Iāve been checking the shop every now and then to see and still out of stock.
HƤ? Strangeā¦ I placed my order on 23.2.16 and got the battery around one week laterā¦
still no display assmblies yet?
or did I just miss the first shipping and they are out of stock again?
(I was hoping to receive an email in case there were new displays available)
Hey @LillyF,
Yeah, we are still waiting for them. 
You will be notified the moment they are back in stock.
Best,
Douwe
Hey, we are waiting for the next batch of FP1 batteries to arrive from China. They are going through final quality controls now and we expect them to be shipped next weekā¦ so hang in there! Thanks for your patience.

Hi @Douwe, can ou please notify me as well as my display broke yesterday. I already made a service request (#95465) but it says it can take up to 8 days for an answerā¦ Thanks and happy Easter! Axel
Hey @axelito, you can leave your mail address on the page in our shop to be notified when screens are back in stock.
For those interested: Fairphone has just released a blog post about spare parts, explaining some of the back story that affects spare part availability:
Hi,
Still no display available and I really need one!
My fairphone fell several weeks ago and I just donāt have a phone anymore, that is not possible (oh yes, Iāve an old one that alows me phoning but strictly thisā¦).
Please tell me theyāre available soonā¦
Furthermore, can somebody help me about this: My fairphone connects (bluetooth for instance) as āFP1ā, but I bought it on Novembre 2014, and I saw FP1U started in āmid-2014ā soā¦ Do you think mine can be a FP1 or a FP1U? (Do your FP1U connect as āFP1ā?). And does this change anything about replacing the display?
Thanks to all of youā¦

Hi Faribule,
you can check behind your battery to find out whether you have a FP1 or FP1U. Both identify as FP1 when using bluetooth though. You can change that name in the bluetooth settings btw.
I am waiting for a new display as well, did you already put your email on the notification list? Lets hope that they are ready soon.
Greetings, ace28

Hi,
Is there an update on the display? My phone is almost unusable at the moment (also because of an unfortunate fall). Iām already on the notification list but a small update would be much appreciated. (I asked on support a couple of weeks ago but did not get a reply). Iām still a fan and hope I donāt have to go back on an old phone.
Thanks!

That was so simpleā¦ Thank you ace28!!
Iāve already put my email on the notification list, and I am now waitingā¦
Hi everyone!
as the display assemblies are out of stock for almost half a year and I doubt Iām the only one with a totally unusable phone:
Did any one manage to repair their phone somehow else, like using third-party parts? Is there a phone using the same screen, so one could replace it by that? I herd the design was abbreviated from some Chinese manufacturer. Maybe with a little playing around there is a chance to use a spare display of one of their models?
Best regards,
dom

Other than scavenging parts from FP1(U)s that were broken in some other way, not that Iām aware of. Screens assemblies from other models by the same manufacturer are unlikely to fit, as even the FP1U screen doesnāt fit the FP1 motherboard (but the FP1 screen does fit the FP1U motherboard apparently).
Whether you could replace parts within the display assembly is another question. A discussion on glass-swapping is here. In theory the actual panel used could be found somewhere, but then you run into the same issue as with the glass-swap.
If you do really want to search for spares for the most similar phone in the hope that against the odds the screen will be useful: youāre looking for spares for a Changhong Honphone V9 (having good working knowledge of Mandarin is probably a pre-requisite).
Maybe you can find your required parts here:

I was passionate about FairPhone and the idea since the beginning and got my FP1 first edition. But now touchscreen does not detect touches, but display works just fine. Since I am waiting already for more than half a year on a spare part but still nothing, I am giving up. FP1 goes into a trash can and i go for Huawei for 120 euro and iāll just stop kidding my self about these matters anymore.
Bye FairPhone! (Fairphone: Confirmation order 16591)
Hi all!
Thanks for the infos @Johannes and @werner_noebauer!
I of course already checked the used-Fairphones-thread. Unfortunately, there is quite some folks in need of a display and only few phones with working displays for sale, so I consider this not very promisingā¦
@Johannes, you are very right about the required Chinese skills for any information about the Changhong Honphone V9. Seems like it was only sold in china and therefore only some tech reviews were translated to English. As my Chinese is very bad (say, none), I asked a Chinese friend to do a little searching for me. Lets see what he might findā¦
Thatās sad, @Rolands_Jjj, but of course I can understand your reasonsā¦
Best regards
