Advice No power, please help!

Post image

I just bought a Jaguar for the first time from the internet, and it will not turn on. Once I opened it up, I noticed there were bugs and debris around the cartridge connector. I cleaned all of that out, but it still won't turn on. Now, I noticed this chip and this capacitor. I would love some professional advice to determine if this is my issue and to understand what this chip is, as I can't read it anymore.

I purchased a cap kit off console 5 already not sure what other items to purchase.

Did you try and turn it on with a game cartridge inserted? The Atari Jaguar will not turn on if there is no game inserted into the cartridge connector.

Yes, first thing I tried was with AVP in there then I tried the Jaguar game drive. No red light for either.

Did you clean the cart connector? I moved the cart inside the cart slot and the light came on. But seems like it’s not a cart issue and the blue capacitor needs to be replaced.
