A friend of mine gave me a Dell Inspiron P91G001 laptop for free as suddenly the computer would not output to either the screen or HDMI, and the keys would light up for about 5 seconds before the computer would shut down. There are no led flashes showing on the charging port.
When I opened it up I noticed a spot around this processor that looked like it had blue green corrosion all around it, to the point it almost looked like the board had been exposed to acid or melted without being blackened by heat. I used 99% IPA and a qtip to clean the area, the motherboard cleaned up but the processor looks like some of the pins may be missing / cracked or discolored. It definitely stands out to me as a problem area, but unfortunately I cleaned the area before I got a picture of how it looked when I opened it up.

Here are the pictures of the area. Hopefully someone will chime in here, though I'm not really expecting much.
What would be the best way to go about testing this chip? How hard would it be to get a replacement? I really doubt I could solder one back in, but if the motherboard is toast anyway I might as well try.
Also, using Google lens I have found multiple chips that are similar, but aren't an exact match, for example:
ISL95859HRTZ-T
Or
ISL95859HRTZ X65WTT
Are these chips compatible?
