    Thank you for this very helpful guide. However I fail to see why you would conclude that replacing the battery is 'moderate'. Could you elaborate on this a little bit more, please?

    For me 'moderate' means it is (very) complicated (i.e. plenty of steps) but feasible in general (i.e. there is a good chance you're not gonna brick your device) for which there is only one escalation level left: 'not feasible at all'. Non of that is true for the FP4. Could removing the battery more user-friendly, though? Well yes, of course but it is still by far very simple and straight forward.

    Again, thank you very much for this great contribution.

    Hey Dave S.,

    thanks for your comment. You're totally right, the "moderate" rating was due to an oversight as it is the default in the system. I've changed the rating.

Der Tausch war sehr einfach mit eurer Anleitung und der USB-C Anschluss funktioniert wieder einwandfrei, besser als zuvor sogar.

Ich hatte von Anfang an Probleme mit dem USB-C Anschluss und vermute dieser war bereits fehlerhaft montiert. Die Konnektivität wurde immer schlechter, nur bestimmte Ladekabel funktionierten noch. Säubern hat nichts gebracht. Nach dem Wechsel funktionieren wieder alle Kabel bzw. Stecker und klicken richtig an. Das war vorher nie so.

Bei den ganzen Problemen und dem Verschleiß von USB-C Buchsen ist es schade dass Fairphone sich wegen der schlechteren Effizienz immer noch gegen QI-Charging entscheidet. Es könnte die Lebensdauer von Ladeanschlüssen verlängern. Ich denke das sollte man hinsichtlich der Nachhaltigkeit mehr berücksichtigen.

My phone only charged with some of my known good cables. It's 2 years and a couple months old.

The fix was very easy. probably not even 25 minutes. Only the screws didn't want to come out after unscrewing, They came out with carefully removing the speaker assembly, knowing the screws are loose. I also removed dust from the speaker while in here.

My phone charges normally again.

Fantastische Anleitung. Der neue USB-C Anschluss war in weniger als 30 Minuten montiert und das Laden funktioniert jetzt wieder einwandfrei.

Lediglich den Spudger habe ich eigentlich nicht gebraucht. Der Ladeanschluss lies sich allein schon mit dem Daumennagel abheben incl. Platine, da der USB-C Stecker gar nicht mehr mit der Platine verbunden war, die Platine lag lose drauf, nur gehalten vom Lautsprecher. Scheint mir eine Schwachstelle im Fairphone 4 Design zu sein.

Bei der Gelegenheit habe ich auch gleich den Lausprecher vorsichtig vom Staub befreit. Jetzt hört sich der Ton wieder viel lauter an als zuvor :-)
