My laptop got water spilled on it, and now it won't charge or work properly. I've taken it to several technicians, and they've all suggested that I need to replace the motherboard. However, I think it might just need some cleaning to remove the oxidation and possibly some solder repairs. I've got pictures I can share in the comments for better context.

Did you post about this yesterday? Just curious, it feels familiar. Remember, sometimes these issues are tricky, and getting multiple opinions can help!
You might be facing more damage than what you can see. There are likely multiple components that could have failed from the spill.
If you've ignored everyone's advice to replace the motherboard, why not delve into it yourself? It could be a great learning experience!
The truth is, unless someone can physically examine your laptop, it's tough to say what's really wrong. Sometimes just a few seconds of exposure can cause major issues, like sending too much power through the CPU or GPU, which might fry them. You could try cleaning it yourself with some isopropyl alcohol and a soft toothbrush to see if that helps.
