I’m impressed with your perseverance.

Well the purpose of buying a Fairphone was to keep it as long as possible, so I wasn’t going to throw it away before having tried everything!

I received my new battery today, but the phone still behaves in the same way (i.e. battery level shown is always 50% and phone won’t work without being plugged). May this be due to one of the modules being faulty, or does this look more like a core module problem?

Sadly the core module is the only one that manages charging etc.

The phone will work without the ‘other’ modules, so you should be able to remove the bottom module with no change.

The bottom module only feed power to the core module which then decides on how best to charge the battery, the phone will not run from the mains, i.e. without a battery
