Help Fairphone 4

Hi. Two problems with my FP4.

  1. Touchscreen is coming off. Fixed it with tape for the time being, not ideal but screen is still fully operational.
  2. Powerbutton sometimes doesnt work. I can start phone by plugging power cable in or getting a call. Sometimes the button works okay, sometimes it won’t react at all.
    Are these issues related? Cant seem to find a powerbutton part on the site. And I dont feel like buying an expensive new screen if it doesnt fix the powerbutton problem. Please help.

Does anything happen to your phone, else what about warranty? I doubt changing screen will help with the power button, when the issue is caused by the power button and this could only be repaired by Fairphone directly.

Bought it december 2021, so I’m afraid no more warranty. Not sure though.
What do you mean by something else happening to phone?

Did you not register for the extended 5 year warranty?

I was wondering if the phone e.g. fell down or had any other accident which could have caused the issues with screen etc.
