Looking for FP2 bottom module (Netherlands)

My girlfriend is in despair, since even a simple phone call is not possible anymore…
Who has a FP2 bottom module lying around please?

Also some on the usb port if charging is an issue

I will try to resolder the joints and hope the bottom module will be able to do its work…
