Domyos/Decathlon Exercise Bike FC6 Console (Geonaute Technology)

[SFB]

Hello all, first post here.
I have been looking at trying to repair the console for my parents' exercise bike but believe I may have hit a brick wall and just wanted to put it out there in case someone more experienced than myself can see something I am missing. I could not find a schematic for the board.

I found a capacitor I believed was the culprit (marked in image) but when I removed it it was still showing a short and the cap tested okay. It was the only short on the board and came directly from the main chip so in my mind it is the chip that has gone and thus unrepairable. Am I right in this logic or missing something?

Cheers

What is this crap on the second pic, top left? Looks like something got melted and charred?

It was some glue stuff to cover the connectors to the speaker. The wiring had come away while I was looking at it so started to try removing it so could resolder.
Any ideas?
