This is a hard question to respond, because many things can have liquid damage inside, but this is my personal rule:

“Inspect for liquid damage and corrosion, wherever is bad or looks bad needs to cleaned be replaced, if liquid touched the motherboard/circuit board, the same rule wherever is bad or looks bad needs to be cleaned or replaced.”

It looks very hard to fix it on your own. You may try sending it to a pro or a repair center if it is really important for you.
