Hi there,

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!

Best,

Teresa

Sebastien,

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.

Is your screen still available?

My FP3 is running again!

Thanks! :pray::+1:

If you can unscrew the 2 Torx screws, you could also separate the motherboard from the rear module – there might be interest for that one, too.

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.

Happy to hear from you.

Hi Sebastien,

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?

Thanks,
Malcolm

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.

I green-marked the two Torx T5 screws in this iFixit picture:

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.

That’s great, thanks Sebastien! I will message you privately to arrange.

Thanks also to urs_lesse for the help.

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.

Looks like sebastienp’s FP3 is shaping up to become the best-filleted FP3 corpse ever. :wink:
