I’m interested in the battery and the bottom module, although I’m waiting for an answer of fairphone support to know whether the reparison is worth or not.
Would be happy if you contacted me with more information on the purchase!
you may save me… My FP3 screen was slowly dying, now it is the end of it. It unglued, started to flicker, is totally unresponsive now.
And I just saw your post. I live in Brussels too.
UPDATE (because I cannot edit)
Hi,
I’m offering various pieces for FP3 (motherboard down after 3 years of good use. everything worked still perfectly) :
brand new (never used)
battery
bottom module
used (3 years old; still working perfectly before motherboard went down):
battery
bottom module
screen (few scratches) - used (3 years)
camera module
top module
rear module
every pieces you should seem valuable for you !
It’s wonderful : parts of my FairPhone3 are now in Sweden, The Netherlands and Belgium.
It’s a pity I couldn’t find a way to send a battery to UK or Germany. I look at BPost (belgian post, it seems impossible) ; I look at UPS, it’s possible but limited to companies ?
If you know some ways, I’d be happy to learn them !
I’d recommend not breaking your head about shipping the battery abroad. Put an attractive price tag on it and offer it within Belgium. Or consider donating it to a Fairphone Angel in Belgium – i.e. either @angels_brussels or @angels_ghent.
Hi Sebastian,
i am interested in the bottom modul. The connection between the bottom modul and my cable is very unstable. If charging with your bottom module worked, I would like to purchase it.
Hi sebastienp,
I’m the fairphone angel for Brussels. As urs said, you may want to donate unsold modules to us.
Let me know what you end up doing!

I’m interested in your rear module if it’s still available - that’s the part with the fingerprint sensor, correct? My sensor broke a few days ago. I’m in the UK, would you be able to ship it here?
Hi,
I’ll try to take it apart and let you know. It’s not something they explain as standard DIY repair.
I cannot say if my sensor works, I never use it
If I take it apart, it will certainly be possible to send it by post. Those parts are very light and fit in a regular enveloppe. I will pack it safely.
I’ll send it for 7eur. You can pay me afterwards.
Best regards,
Sebastien.
After this – If the three small modules (top, camera, bottom) are detached – you just need to lift out the metal shield and the motherboard.
EDIT 5 July: detached instead of removed – you actually don’t need to get the three small modules out if you just disconnect the three connector bands that link these with the motherboard.

Update: the rear module recently arrived and I replaced it today. It was easy to follow the instructions from @urs_lesse , and everything is now working perfectly. Thanks again @sebastienp , much quicker and cheaper for me than sending my phone off to be fixed at Fairphone HQ.
