Hey, over a year ago sister spilt only a tiny bit of orange juice on laptop, stopped working after that, we didn't do anything to it, now we pulled it out, and was about to throw it out, but i wanna see if there is anything i can try and do now, nothing to lose, so even if i have to take it apart and drown it in water or distilled water or some alcohol mix, and wait a week to dry, i don't care, any suggestions for ideal solution

there isn't it's glued with two forks and soldered to circuit, have to buy a new battery with forks attached when you replace it, instead of all this, would it be better to buy a Motherboard for 70 bucks, and use my gpu/cpu in that, i saw one on ebay, cause i could spend 20-40 bucks trying this and may not work, seems cheap to get an alright laptop out of it?,

wait, what am i saying, i can solder amazingly, i have a bloody class on electrical at school, i'm not thinking straight i'll try it out, but if it messes up i'll think about just buying one,
