Anyone from #Fairphone here on the #Fediverse?

- Cuz you guys need to do some #QC with your #batteries!

This is the 3rd battery on my #FP3+ that went #DangerPillow and I'm using your #Charger and most of the time trickle-charge via USB with 5V @ 2A max.

- This has #Note7 vibes!

So if anyone at Fairphone wants that thing for testing and analysis: Ping me!

You’re probably going to have better luck contacting Fairphone directly for any issues. Spicy pillows FTL though.

Fairphone support: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us

Or Murena if it was bought through them: https://murena.com/contact-us/

Good luck!

@Baaron87 I didn't buy it from #Mureny, but #Fairphone instead.

It's an original part from their online store.

Ah, you’ll definitely want to contact Fairphone directly then if you haven’t already. I included the link to Murena since they also provide those parts and devices.

The first link I shared yesterday should get you where you need to go.

I hope they’re able to help you resolve the issue and figure out what the root cause of the swollen batteries is.

@Baaron87 espechally since a battery shouldn't go "danger pillow" in less than a year.

Honest question: why is is " [ \ #Lilon..."?

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

zero clue... I posted that image people some posts are absolute garbage because of the absurd amount of random crap people add to get 'exposure'. just makes their posts look stupid af
