FP3+ suddenly died out of nowhere/stopped reacting altogether

My Fairphone suddenly broke down. Out of nowhere, it stopped reacting. Nor the buttons, nor the screen seem to work. It wasn’t wet, I have tried several chargers (but battery was fine), … What could be the issue?

Hi lotte. Could it be something related to what we call Sudden death?
It does not vibrate nor does the led light up when plugged in.
The solution would be to apply heat to the memory chip by means of an oven or a hot air gun.

Hi Koumilak, it seems to be the case! I guess I’ll visit the opensource tech-lab we have in our city to figure it out. The phone was overheated because of the sun a few days before, might be one of the causes…? Thank you for the tips on the diagnosis and how to fix it!

Wishes
Lotte
