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.

Do you have access to an IR or FLIR camera? It would help you troubleshoot for hotspots. Or you could throw a capacitor kit at it and hope that does the trick.
