  • And with that, we're done with the first level of user repairs. The Fairphone is designed to be easily separated into modular components, but what if you want to fix an individual module?

  • The modules are held together with Torx T5 screws—presumably to deter the casual user from delving too deep—but are still easy to open up.

  • We start with the top module: the front-facing camera pops right off thanks to a simple flex cable connector.

  • Spring contacts power the earpiece speaker, making for easy replacement of that as well.

  • The headphone jack, the final component, is soldered to the board. Fortunately, nothing major remains, so a replacement board should be pretty cheap.
