Hello,
I also need a new bottom module as it stopped working just some days after Fairphone stopped selling original replacement parts (why did I buy a repairable phone again?) …

Location would be Munich/Germany

Thanks!

@fp2089

why did I buy a repairable phone again?

It’s an attractive idea but beauty fades in the eye of the beholder as the eyes tire and the brain looses focus.

Hi @hannah1 and @fp2089 welcome to the forum.

Please have a look at this post.

Searching for FP2 bottom module / Germany

Hi Christiana and welcome to the forum. There have been a lot of request for the bottom module lately, so it’s as bit of a search. What do you think is wrong with the module? If it’s charging issues check the usb port and cable for dirt that may cause resistance. Another issue is that the soldered joints of the usb to the module may be damaged, so if you like you attempt or ask someone else to effect a repair if that is the issue. Just searching for a link or two and will update soon. OK he…

Also looking for a FP2 bottom module (my microphone just died ), to be shipped to Belgium please .
I already tried restarting the phone, cleaning it, re-tightening the screws and taking the module out then replacing it.
'Hope I can find another bottom module and make my FP2 last longer

FP2 Bottom Module (due to defect mic)

Hello, Are you still looking? I have a spare FP2 bottom module.

Hi Volker, I’m looking for a FP2 bottom module, the microphone no works. Have you yet a FP2 bottom module ?

[Volker]

Hi @Helloelo,
I’m very sorry. I don’t have a spare FP2 bottom module. I was just linking to someone having one in June…

Hello,
I’m also looking for a FP2 bottom module. My microphone doesn’t work since 3 months but I don’t want to call/talk over the speaker anymore (people near me get annoyed)

If somebody has a working FP2 bottom module I would be happy
Or does anybody know if is it possible to just replace the microphone (soldering)?

It would be a perfect christmas gift for me

Hi take a look at

Howto repair the microphone inside the bottom module

As fairphone angel (in Berlin) I have a lot of support cases with nonfunctional microphones in the bottom modul. A lot of users have minimum the 2nd, often the 3rd bottom module. Mostly easily changed by Fairphone support in warranty. But there is a lot of waste (I collect old faulty modules and send them back for recycling). So my questions: Did anyone successfully repaired the microphone inside the bottom module by soldering a new smd microphone? What’s the reason for the highly rate of f…

FP2 microphone repair (work in progress)

Edit: see following posts for updates - this particular fix doesn’t seem to last, but I’m trying out something different. If it works I’ll hide the text below in a spoiler tag and write a new post. Frustrated as I am at having to wait for parts to fix my Super Nintendo, I thought I’d finally take an in-depth look at some of the broken FP2 bottom modules I have lying around. I’ve never encountered a broken USB port but I have about half a dozen of these things with malfunctioning microphones. Te…

There’s info in the topic

FP2 Bottom Module: Repair broken µUSB port

@JohnHughes (thanks again) send me two broken bottom Modules some days ago. This one has a defekt µUSB port. After disassembling I took a picture with a microscope camera and found some solder cracks. Barely to see without magnification. Two cracks at the shield contacts that I am not too worry about, but also one at contact 5. I am sure that was a slack joint. Some serious force must be acted to the Port. I will try to resolder the joints and hope the bottom module will be able to do its work…

Suppose you’ve also considered to use a headset as workaround?

[basecore]

Yes thank you. I have considered to use a headset but unfortunately a headset is not at hand anytime if someone is calling.

Hi amoun, thank you very much for researching the topics.

Maybe you can get a refurbished bottom module:

Refurbished FP2 bottom modules sold by Fairphone

From the bottom module page: For all Fairphone 2 users whose device is not covered by the manufacturing warranty anymore, we are also able to offer you a refurbished replacement bottom module via a repair by us, however we don’t cover these costs. I didn’t remember having seen this before, the web archive tells me it wasn’t here on Oct 7th, but Google Webcache tells me it was here 4 days ago. Has anyone contacted Fairphone and actually asked for this repair?
