Looks repairable.

Replace the capacitors on the left side (first picture) , retouch a lot of solder joints (looks like there's some bad solder joints on 3rd picture (right at the bottom under that insulating glue, around the transformer to the top right)

Remove that brown goo, it may have become conductive.. scrape it away.

Now you can try to fix the old board. I'm sure the new board has bad quality caps on it, and wouldn't you like to have a reliable one?

I have an X223HQ so this is slightly worrying for me. :/

Easily fixed if it goes wrong though. May even want to consider a preventative re-capping.
