I got mine open, and don't know what to do next!

This unit was in use by an older relative. (she's now using an Amazon
Echo) and was exhibiting power problems for a few days by not powering
up or displaying a low battery message. It then died completely and
would not power up either via power cable or battery. 

I have removed the battery and opened the unit. I see no obvious signs
of damage, but did find some black grit in places on the main board. It
feels like it may be part of the case but I can't confirm that.

I have cleaned it up and plugged it in, but had no joy. I don't have
another power supply of a smiliar 18V output. I do have a working
Squeezebox Classic which has a 5V power supply. Could I try that? I'm
completely out of my depth here, but simply can't dump this unit without
trying to revive it.

Can anyone give me a guide as to what my next diagnostic steps should
be?

Pictures attached

thanks for any help on this.
