FP3 in Japan_battery or bottom module issues

Help Fairphone 3

Hello!
My FP3 stopped recharging since yesterday.
I have already tested different chargers and different cables.
I have opened and cleaned the bottom module.

I have found a combination of charger and cable that is “recognized” and the red life turn on.
I did factory reset, and then I downloaded “battary health” apps… They all say that the battery is okay but I have my concerns…
One of the apps suggests that it charges 2% per hour.

I will be in Japan for a month and I am in need of a solution… That hopefully in not to buy a new phone.
I know I can buy a new battery when I get back to Europe, or even the bottom module in case it’s degraded. If there is someone near Chiba who could test if the battery charges normally on their phone, that would be great

I rather think it could be the bottom module/USB Port…so the less stress you add to it the better in case you cant find a new one, maybe an external charger can help…

Given the certain scarcity of Fairphoners in Japan, I shared this on Mastodon right away: WeAreFairphone: "📱Fairphone 3️⃣ user in 🇯🇵 Japan (near Chiba) nee…" - SocialFairphoneCommunity
