Hi Forum, I think I broke the connector of my FP. It only charges when I push the cable slightly upwards. It does not at all connect anymore to the PC when I connect to a USB cable. I tried many different cable so that can exclude the possibility of a broken cable. I once roughly pulled the cable f…

I hope my reply can help you even if your post is a bit old now! It happens the same to me. The USB connector did not work anymore and it charged only in that position. I’ve opened the phone and discovered that the PCB tracks soldered to the three central USB pins were broken (but you can still h…

Hey @Nicedears ! Could you please post the ordering code for the farnell-connector? best regards!

Hi Nicedears, excellent work. But as the previous poster has said, would be very usefull if you could post the code for the component on Farnell. They have a bewildering array of components on sale there. Thanks.

Nice, thanks, but unfortunately this is beyond my skills and two repair companies refused to do this as well. I guess new motherboard is the only option for me… :frowning:

Maybe you find someone here on the forum, who lives near you and can help. If you want to try it, you can open a new thread (use the button “Reply as linked Topic” next to a post) in the Repair category of the forum. :sunny:

I can’t see information about the part needed for this repair in this thread, despite the title stating the opposite. Google gave me this: http://uk.farnell.com/fci/10104110-0001lf/micro-usb-2-0-type-b-receptacle/dp/2293753 Can someone confirm that this is the part?

for reference, i’m adding a picture of my FP1 USB connector: [image] notes: red arrow points to where the USB socket connections have lifted off green arrow points to the circuit board connection pads blue arrow shows the USB connector pulled out of the circuit board

I have done exactly this too :frowning: Is very annoying to have to prop your phone just right to get it to charge :frowning: Hurry up FP2… (and please have a stronger connector)

I have the same problem, for the second time now, and without dropping the phone, just by using the USB connector. Very annoying indeed… I’ll try to find someone to repair it here.

Well, in this case you should definitely qualify for a warranty repair. Contact Fairphone support and describe the problem, I think you will be offered a free repair immediately. Geht auch auf deutsch.

Has the part number that Peter_A posted ever been confirmed? A friend of mine needs to buy a usb connector for his FP1(U). A little stone got stuck into his connector and when he poked it out, he somehow damaged the connector. Now he gets a too high voltage warning whenever he turns his phone on and…
