Usually water damage on boards is quite visually detectable. It sounds like you already know the cause for your issue, so short of a professional repair where someone re-solders the damaged component, it sounds like a new MB is in order. A pic would be helpful to determine how extensive the damage is, and whether or not other components may have been impacted. Taking it to a professional repair facility may be your best option in this case, unless it was old enough just to warrant buying something new.  Your data will likely be able to be recovered and transferred to your new computer.
