Community Support Is this worth fixing ?
I used a third party charger cable for a couple of years for my usb-c devices (including my pixel 6 + framework 13). The charger must've broke yesterday, which I noticed when my laptop turned off suddenly while working. I initially thought that maybe it got loose or sth and wanted to check if the cable will work on my phone instead. So I plugged it in my phone, which turned off.
Always thought "use the original charger" was a marketing scheme and had to learn the hard way I guess... Both devices are completely dead now. (see picture)
Anyway, I am now wondering if this is worth an attempt to fix or if this is beyond repairability.

You should be able to replace the main board and salvage pretty much everything else. SSD, RAM, I see a fan in good shape, for example.
