Inductive charging on FP1?

The challenge with wireless charging solutions for the FP1 is that those usually need permanent access to the (working) USB port. What you can consider:

  • Use an external charger for your FP1 battery
  • Find a local repair shop that resolders the USB port (or a new one)
  • Look out for a used FP1 motherboard with a stable USB port in this forum’s unofficial market
  • Contact your nearest Fairphone Angel to see if s/he has a motherboard for you

I’d especially recommend the third and fourth option.
