Acidic content will wear down the metal circuitry too.

Does sound like a dead motherboard, poss cpu. I'm guessing the memory is located underneath laptop so won't be that.

Claim on house insurance, and remove hard drive, plug in to a caddy to backup data.

Or sell as spares / repair on ebay. If its a modern laptop, screen / inverter will be worth near £100 on ebay dep on model.

Toshiba stuff breaks down very easily. They have a plant near me and I see pallet fulls of the crap being returned for repair or otherwise.

Wouldn't buy a laptop ever. They last five minutes and compromise security. Most of the botnets are laptops.

Get a good PC tower, much easier to service and extremely reliable.
