Yesterday however the dreaded day came where I couldn’t get my FP3 to make a connection with the cable no more, no more charging.

If you need a workaround to charge the battery, there are universal external battery chargers, in case of need I have this one for the Fairphone 3 battery (I just fetched some links to where it’s available currently, it might be available elsewhere, too, there’s a version with an LED indicator and a version with an LCD display) …

If you want to look up other chargers … The charging contacts have to be thin enough for the Fairphone 3 battery contacts, this is not a given with all universal chargers.

I know the Amazon links don’t have the chargers available currently, but the pictures there still better show what to look out for with the contacts.

Anyway, if that’s an option, vireo in Germany still seems to have FP3 bottom modules.

Their current delivery time estimate might also be down to a date when they are expecting stock. I saw October 5 mentioned in some online shop a few days ago.
