Update... Cpu died mobo is alive apparently

Philippines.. but yeah im fairly certain my mobo is dead. Not sure about cpu though

With the current lockdown on my area i dont think id be able to find any 100% alcohol right now

You know how some electronics turn on before it dies out. Mine never did there was no fan spin or whatever before it died out... So is it possible its just the mobo?

I used 70% ethyl. I did not notice any thermal paste or probably it was liquidized thermal goop... Hmmm mobo alone is not turning on is it possible the only mobo got damaged? Some black spots on my cpu pins probably caused by arcing

Hi. I was cleaning my r5 3600 with b450 motherboard to change thermal paste. i did not remove the cpu out of thw mobo to avoid damaging it or bending the pins and what not so i wiped alchohol immediately on top of my cpu. And did not notice that alchohol went in the sockets. Place thermal paste and installed heatsink then i did the same on my gpu. Assembled my right back up and it wont turn on. Removed everything including cpu and i saw dark spots on my cpu and my cpu socket was wet. Did i break both cpu and motherboard?? When i removw cpu still wont boot fans wont turn.
