How do I find what is broken after water damage?

Sure I'd love to tear this down just like in the ifixit video, spend a couple hours and lose multiple screws, just to figure out what I damaged after spilling water on this thing, but is there an easier way to locate the malfunctions? Are there any diagnostic tests one could possibly run through the use of another computer or maybe a specific device that could perform that action?

Sorry, only Sherlock Homes has the skills to deduce water damage without opening a system ;-{

You will need to open it some what to see what has gotten wet, if you plan to fix it your self. Hopefully you don't need to get that deep in to see what needs cleaning and or replacing.

How wet did it get and was it straight water (tap) or something else? Also, did you clean up the spillage quickly off of your system and shut it down if it was running. And lastly, Did you disconnect the battery.
