After spill computer turns itself off (Problem fixes when...)

So my gf spilled some juice on her Macbook Air and we took it to a place where they supposedly cleaned the pieces to remove corrosion, the problem was that when you turn on the macbook, the screen turns itself off for a flash or the macbook enters in hibernate mode by itself randomly but when I got it home, I opened the computer and removed the I/O cable and the computer worked without any problem (besides the fan running at a 100% and the kernel task issue) so, after that I realized that the problem was either the i/o board or the i/o board cable, I would like to add that if I disconnect the battery and the i/o board cable I can use the computer without the main trouble of it entering in hibernation or the flashing screen but with the same kernel task + fan at 100% issue so, I dont know if I should change the I/O board or the cable itself

+ The macbook wont hibernate when closing it (the trouble appeared with the spill) and I already checked all the software configurations.

Answer this question I have this problem too

What they ommitted to do is, change your battery, as the juice may have gotten to the battery. Do not turn on the laptop till this is done, you may also want to clean the keyboard as well )

Also, ensure the hardware is cleaned with a solution of isopropyl alcohol, prior to battery install, as those people claimed they have done it, I would do it myself to be sure.

The incident happened 2 months and there were no traces of juice near the battery, keyboard is working fine, so Im between IO board replacement or IO board cable replacement, and I dont know about the computer not hibernating when closing the lid

some open apps will keep, the computer running, if they require it to be on, also check your battery settings as well. Id clean your hardware with the solution I suggestion before investing in an IO board.
