Water Damaged & Exposure to 91% Rubbing Alcohol
My iPod Touch became water damaged after a water bottle opened in girlfriend's purse. Tried to evaporate water by using 91% rubbing alcohol and leaving it in rice. Of course, now I realize this probably wasn't the best idea (the alcohol that is) and now I would like to attempt to fix the device myself since its shot anyway. I know I probably need to buy a battery replacement. But due to the potential rubbing alcohol damage. I have 3 questions:
1) The LCD screen is intact, meaning the glass is not broken, however, there are marks inside the screen, what parts do you think I will need to order from this site, the front panel or the LCD?
2) Does anyone have any recommendations for cleaning of possible corrosion or other water/alcohol damage factors?
3) Is there anywhere that teaches you how to repair iPods or other electronics? I actually find this really interesting as I used to help my dad, a master electrician, solder and fix my overheating playstation, radios, etc., amongst other things.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Is this a good question?

Assuming you are answering question #3, thank you for your answer, mayer. However, I went through the step-by-step guides before posting this question and to my knowledge my questions are not answered directly in these guides. Furthermore, my uneasiness with the do-it-yourself process is that many ppl on this site have caused more damage to their iPod or broken something else while repairing. Therefore, I wanted to know more information about the process before beginning. I would like to know as much as possible before I begin. thx

What do you mean by 'marks' inside the screen? Are they generally round and sort of hollow? They could just be residue from water vapor and may wipe off once you get inside.
