How to fix the water damage?

I spilled sweet tea in the fan part of my xbox. I had it on for 2 hours (after the tea was wiped up) and it worked perfectly fine until it shut off and wouldn't turn back on. I had it turned upside down and unplugged and nothing helped. UNTIL today I used an air compressor to shoot bursts of air into the fan and it turned on. BUT after I turned it off it wouldn't come back on.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

XboxUser Corrosion finally killed it. Time to try to resurrect it. First start taking it apart (STOP using it, you are just killing it faster;-)

Disassemble your Xbox by using [these guides] . After you disassembled your Xbox clean all the boards, board connectors and cable ends with +90% isopropyl alcohol. Follow this guide, and even so it was written for an iPhone, all the points are still pertinent to your console as well. While you clean your board, check for any obvious damage, like burned or missing components etc. Check your boards closely for corrosion damage. Post pictures of those boards with your QUESTION. That way we can see what you see.

You also want to remove the fan and heatsink and replace the thermal paste. Once all this is done, reassemble your console and then reevaluate. Until it is cleaned, everything will only be a guess. Even with all this, water damage has only a small chance to be fully repaired, but at least you can give it a try.
