[SOLVED] Looking for a FP2 bottom module to buy

[DennisLaursen]

Hi out there

Via diagnostics, i found out that my bottom module dosen’t work for my Fairphone 2.

It seems that the refurbished replacement parts isn’t avalible at the FP store anymore.

I would also like to pay for shipping to Denmark.

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…
