I've got hold of a 13" MB i'm taking a look at for a friend, it won't boot or accept charge. It has been sent in for a genius bar repair estimate which lists liquid damage and apparently repair costs were £700 which, makes me think the logic board's fried.
My question is, what's best to do here? It's an old MB (13", 2.0GHZ/512MB/60GB/SuperDrive/BT/AP). Given the laptop has already been replaced with a new MB i'm thinking of just harvesting it for parts.
I've opened up MBs before, replaced DC in-boards, drives etc. but is there anyway I can test for liquid damage on the individual parts? HDD i can test in a caddy, what about RAM, the screen, keyboard etc?

Thanks.
