Second Bottom Module (Microphone) also fails

Help Fairphone 2
,
8

same here I have now two partial working bottom module:

  1. charging if installed without screws but the microphone and speaker are dead. If I tight it by means of the screws I microphone and speaker are working but I cannot charge anymore. It is recognized that a power supply is connected and it goes even into charge mode if powered off but no current is flowing into the battery
  2. microphone is dead but if I bend/push the module down (pushing hard on the gap between screen and module it is working. This solution isn’t really practical.

Any chance of repairing one of them? Some folks like @ecosepo and @ElKrasso were successful in doing it but I would say my case is different.
I may get a spare module of a friend of mine before I may buy a [ORDERS CLOSED} New Fairphone Bottom module with USB-C port for Fairphone 2 - #33 by Leo_TheCrafter

so Bottom module failing AGAIN = design flaw = warranty over 2 years? is properly justified.
