Flipper Zero: Can the USB port on flipper zero be repaired or replaced?

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 03:26:25 -0700

My flipper zero's USB-C port still works for charging, but no longer works for firmware updates, serial communication, file transfer, or as an HID device. If I wiggle the USB port then I can get it recognized briefly but after trying a dozen different USB-C cables and 4 different PC's I've concluded that it is a hardware issue. Is a repair feasible/possible by re-soldering the port connection to the board, or are the solder points too small?

Flipper Zero: Flipper Zero. Stripped the screws a bit. What do I do?

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 19:00:55 -0700

I used a small metal screwdriver when trying to replace the housing shell and I think that it was stripped a little, but not as much. I don’t want to continue to try to unscrew it with the risk of completely stripping it. Any ideas?

Flipper Zero: Left it out in the rain

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 20:19:24 -0700

I left it out in the rain with my Wi-Fi dev board and it was fine I thought, then I realized that my Wi-Fi dev board wasn’t connecting to the flipper. I fixed the board and put it on my flipper andwhen I scanned some ap’s the board indicated that it’s working but the flipper zero says there isn’t one connected.

Flipper Zero: What buttons does the flipper zero use? also is there a specific port?

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 12:53:28 -0700

I splashed some water on my flipper zero like 4 months ago. opened it up cleaned it with 91% ISO Acohol and let it sit (battery disconnected) thankfully it came back to life but the back button wouldnt work and it wouldnt connect to ANY pc. but it would charge. I'm looking to contact a local gadget repair shop to see if they can replace those. is there a specific button model the flipper zero uses or usb c port? I know there isnt a parts shop yet but I want to see if I can get them from aliexpress or something.
