Fairphone Fairbuds Charging Core Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Use this guide to replace the charging core for your Fairphone Fairbuds.

The charging core includes the USB-C port, the mainboard, and the contacts for the earbuds and the charging core battery to charge. It doesn't include the charging core battery.

You should replace your charging core if your earbuds aren't charging properly, and you've ruled out any issues with the earbuds themselves or with the charging core battery.

You can buy a replacement charging core from Fairphone here.
