Mainboard Identification after Destroying it with Wine

Hey There,

i've got an Macbook that isn't working anymore without specifications. My Buddy said, he threw a glass of wine over it. After that it stopped working Properly and does not boot anymore.

No I want to Replace the whole Logicboard. But i cant find the Right identification Number. Where to buy the new one?

Here are some Pictures:

If the wine entered through the keyboard and got to the logic board, which it appears that it did, in my estimate the cost and labor involved in those makes a repair cost prohibitive. Look at the LDVS connector and see if you think it got hit too. How long has it been sitting and corroding?

Maybe a half year was it sitting :((

Where exactly is the LDVS connector located?

Thank you so far!

It looks okay to me.

But you think it isn't worth, to buy a new Mainboard an try it again?

Greetings, and thank you so far!!!

The keyboard would be the place to start. You can get that part for about $30
