Potential water damage

Hey,

 

Haven't been on here for quite a long time. Probably since 2016 or mid 2017.
Curious though, as I'm quite rusty on a lot of things after being absent from here for a long time...

 

My girlfriend recently spilled a drink, or something liquid, onto her tower, and it subsequently crashed - I honestly suspect that something is dead, but we have no idea of what it could be at this moment.

She's attempted to remove different components (like RAM DIMMs, SATA cables, etc) and has found small droplets of liquid littering some of the connections, and she managed to clean that up with a Q-tip.


Unfortunately, after cleaning up all of the liquid that she's managed to find, nothing will operate. No noises, no fans, nothing. All of the liquid hit around this area (I'll attach the image)

Anybody able to help us out on this?

Thanks, guys.

 

P.S. yes, I know her computer is a little dusty. Don't question it, lol.

ya that looks close enough to the 24 pin connector that I would bet that at a minimum the mobo and psu are dead.

Would recommend testing the mobo and psu with separate components (use a volt meter for the psu first)

My guess is that the motherboard died, not the powersupply.

Specs v-v
