Fairphone 4 won't start

So my Fairphone 4 running /e/OS 2.8 has been having some issues lately - it suddenly shut down about two times and I was only able to restart it after charging it for some hours. I thought it was a battery issue so I bought a new battery, but today with the new battery it suddenly shut down again and now it won’t turn on at all. I’ve tried both batteries, taken the battery out for a long time and so on, no success.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks.

I am thinking about the charging module.

You can consider buying

  • a brand new one on the fairphone web site
  • a second hand one on fairphone community forum

Thanks.

But if I can’t start the phone even with a charged battery, can the charging module be the issue?

how did you charge them ?

Well the battery was pretty well charged (more than 50%) when the phone shut down.

And before it shut down I was able to charge them normally.

I’ve contacted Murena Helpdesk on March 22 but haven’t gotten a reply yet.

Any other way to contact Murena apart from the Helpdesk?
