How should I test to see if my 3rd generation Ipod has parts that work?

[nick2315382]

Hello People Of The World,

I have a 3rd generation IPOD that has been sitting on my bookshelf for a pretty long time because of course it doesn't work. About 3-5 years ago it was working perfectly fine but one day I went to this restaurant and since I was in a rush to go a put it in a bag that I had to-go tray in. Somehow later when I get home I realized that it was kinda wet from some oil that was in the tray and I guess it does the same damage that water does and stopped working. I never from some reason though to get it fixed because I already had a phone which can do basically the same and more than my ipod could do(Also I did put it in rice hoping that it would dry after it shut off). So now 3-5 years later sonce I have the new one so I was thinking to scrap it for parts but I'm not sure what works and what doesn't. So is there some type of test that I can use to test if the parts .

Thanks to the people that respond in advance.

Take out the parts and test them in another system, that will show you if they are good if the device those parts are in does not work.
