Is my Rock64 is dead ?

Hi, I have a problem with my Rock64 and I would like to know your opinion and if it is possible to find a solution.
Until 2 months ago, I was using my Rock64 as an Android TV, it wasn't constantly plugged in. Then I couldn't use it since, so I put it in my desk (in a drawer).
I now have time again and I would like to use it again except... there is a problem. When I plug in the (original) plug the all the rock64 LEDs start flashing, and nothing happens on the screen, on the power supply I can hear a little "click". So I thought that the problem came from the power supply, even if it's strange, I made a multimeter measurement, I have 5~5.2V at the output.
I then checked the physical integrity of the ROCK64 and except for a few strange little "dirt" (because it was well stored).

I can't tell if it is rust or not, it's strange, inside a desk and there is no "water source" or anything near.
Tested with and without SD Card, with and without emmc and it still the same.
Do you think i can do something to fix it ? i love that device, i'm so sad it's not working anymore, I've always made sure to store it properly so it doesn't get damaged and in the end I feel like it's worse than better.
