I left my macbook our in the rain during a pretty strong rainstorm. Now it won't boot up or charge. :(
There is minor/medium corrosion scattered all over the left side of the logic board, and more on the MagSafe DC-In board.
Is this water damage salvageable? Should I even bother buying replacement parts?
Is this a good question?

Most things are fixable but its a question if you have the tools and knowleage to fix them. What you would want to do is first run the board through an ultrasonic cleaner to remove all the corrosion. Then you want to get the schematics and board views for the board and begin testing every power rain the the machine. Once you find what rails are missing you will then need to trouble shot the circuit for that power rail and find the problem components and replace them.
