...maybe some part of the board can be fried and other parts can still work, i don't know.
Ding, ding, ding, ding…you hit the nail on the head! There are 1000's and 1000's of micro circuits on the logic board…and if only one of them is not working…guess what…dead computer. And in this case…there's probably multiple micro circuits not working. For the average person…this cannot be tested, identified, or repaired.
i know that parts of the computer are dead and parts work, i am just wondering if it is possible for me to tell that the logic board works or not, and what needs to be replaced.
Yes it is possible to see if the logic board works or not…it's called the "replacement process". You replace known good parts for bad or possibly bad parts. But guess what. A replacement logic board for this computer will most likely cost MORE than this computer is worth. And that's more than the computer is worth if it was working 100%…not its value in its current non-working state.
Like I said before…this situation is not any different than many of the situations in this thread…in fact it's actually probably worse (more liquid + more contact time). Liquid + Laptop = Dead Laptop. It's an expensive lesson!
