FP3, cannot use the phone and/as screen just flashes every few seconds

Help Fairphone 3
1

Hello

I have a Fairphone 3 since over three years. Today, with nothing happening (fall or anything else) it suddenly got unusable as the screen flash as in the uploaded video and I cannot do anything (cannot restart manually- tried to restart by removing the battery, and once re-started it did the same thing)

Cannot upload the video for some reasons, I uploaded it here in this notion page Notion – The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases. )

Any idea on what could be the problem and what a soultion could be?

Thanks in advance

Giulio

wondering if this is somehow connected…

didnt watch the video, however would start with disassembling and cleaning contact.

What part of the phone did you clean?

It was quite dirty, full of dust and small dirt pieces, so I just gave a general clean, no piece in particular!

The phone is not dust proof. Good to know. Thanks
