Broken core module FP3

[SanneLenoir]

Hello! My core module seems to be broken. To fix it by Fairphone, it will at least cost 222€. My phone is 4,5 years old and I am not shure if i should repair it at all, or maybe at a shop nearby.
Is there anyone with tips for me. I leave in the Netherlands, nearby 's -Hertogenbosch

Clean all contacts with at least 96% alcohol (Kruidvat, don’t use the 70%).

It doesn’t turn on, and it doesn’t charge. It doesn’t show a light or buzz, when i try to charge

And also, i dropped the phone, before it stopped working
