so if anyone could help me that would b great

If it was powered up before being opened up and thoroughly dried out,
it's probably scrap.

You might get very lucky if you let it dry in a warm place for a couple
of weeks, I've seen water get under surface mount chips, but I certainly
wouldn't count on it ever working again.
