Replace your Screen
The Fairphone 2 is designed to help extend the
phone’s usable life. The design should make do-it-
yourself repairs more accessible, but you will still
need to be careful. When opening the device make
sure you use a flat surface with enough space to
lay the device on and that your hands and
surroundings are free from dirt and dust.
These are just the basic instructions. Before you
make a repair consult our video tutorials online at
www.fairphone.com/support or call us!
We are happy to help.
The screen is one of the most commonly damaged
components on a smartphone. If you crack your
screen, you can order a replacement in Fairphone’s
online shop and repair it yourself:
•Slide both blue clips at the bottom of the phone
to the outside (away from each other)
•Replace the battery and the back cover
•Turn on your Fairphone using the on/off button
Tip! Repair other parts: Besides the screen, you
can order additional spare parts and replacement
modules in Fairphone’s online shop. For tutorials
