The screen turns off and on when my FP3 is slightly bent

Hello again and thank you all for your advices . Let’s go:

Hi ensure the battery isn’t abit swollen and pushing a bit but more likely the contacts may not be optimum

The battery is perfectly flat and in good condition.

@anon9989719

Try slightly tightening the screws around the display to core module
or remove the module and

• Check the pogo pins are all movable
• Clean the contacts

A couple of months ago I disassembled, cleaned all the contacts and reassembled the phone.

Since I have this problem, about a month ago, I have disassembled and reassembled the screen once again, tightening the screws (brand new) especially in the screen contacts area. I will do it again as soon as I can. What could I do to fix a “pogo pin” if there is one that is not movable?

@anon9989719

When assembling tighten the screws around the display/core module first, not too tight > then the others > then back to the core module.

I will try this, thanks.

@anon9989719

On disassembling ensure you use enough pressure not to burr the heads of the screws

Yes, I learned this the hard way

Do you know any other FP3 owner who might be willing to temporarily lend you her or his display module? Might allow you to figure out better if the contact issue is on the display or on the core module side.

No, I don’t know anyone, and I can see that @angels_vigo can’t help me either.

I have to admit that it would make me feel a bit uncomfortable to ask for help from someone who is not a bit of a tech person, as I have the suspicion that several of the problems I have with my FP3 have been due to the modularity and with taking it apart (even though I’ve only opened it when I’ve needed to: to tighten modules or clean them… maybe about five or six different times). So I’m afraid that I might “mismatch” their phones, or something like that.

In any case, that’s just my thoughts. It’s actually a very good advice. Thank you!
