In general, when a DS take charge but don't turn on that comes from a fuse and even more when she was dropping, so first check this two fuses for continuity with a multimeter in beep mode(Pink square).

If the two fuse have contonuity, the problem come probably from this chip

In this case you can try to reflow it with some flux and a hot air station.
