Fairphone 3: My phone won't switch on anymore

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 06:17:49 -0700

Hi,

My phone just switched off, even though it still had about 50% battery left.

It won't charge any more either.

I tried several chargers that worked with it and that currently work with other phones as well.

I dismantled it and rebuilt it, twice. It still won't turn on or charge.

Do you have any idea about what I should do next?

Thank you!

Ludovic

Fairphone 3: What glue is needed for the screen unit?

The screen on the fairphone 3+ has started to come away from the phone after being dropped. It still works, it’s just loose at the top. Rather than buying a whole new screen module, it seems we should just be able to carefully glue this one back together.

We’re not sure what glue to use though; what would you recommend?

I accidentally poured coffee on the front side of my phone. It turned off within 10 seconds. I´ve taken off the back and the front, taken out all the screws, and now I don´t know what to do.

Can´t find any tutorial regarding this. What to do?

Fairphone 3: Screw in Fairphone turnt through - any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi! My Fairhphone met some oil in my bag unfortunately, so I tried to open it and clean it, but unfortunately one of the screws is not coming loose, and I’m afraid I’ve tried it so many times that the screwhead doesn’t fit in right anymore. Any ideas on how I could fix this?
