Hi Guys - Was hoping someone could advise

During the recent floods our Dell Optiplex 755 received about 2" of water while it was switched on.
I have enclosed a picture to show the damage. Nothing other than the bottom 2 " of of the motherboard was affected

I purchased a 2nd hand replacement motherboard but when i connect everything back up it wont boot

It doesnt make any noise and the display doesn't even flicker - it just remains black

When I plug the power lead in, the front light on the power switch flashes orange for 1/2 second then seems to power off before continuing in this loop , (flashes orange -powers off - powers on - flashes orange - powers off etc)

I have tried another power supply but it just does the same thing.

Is it likely that when the water entered it everything else just fried?

Is it worth trying anything else?

Thanks in advance

as you are aware its just whats not at the bottom you see its what you dont see like all wires and boards carry current and shorted more than what you see,i would not attempt to plug it in as its a safety aspect and dangerous,a job for the experts to see if info is recoverable.

im with cactikid on this its too much of a danger to you or other people that could potentially use the machine in the future
if its the information on the hard drive your thinking of.just remove the hard drive and take it to a specialist but might not be
cheap since depending on the drive they might need to replace parts on it to access it .

but id recommend just replacing the optiplex they sell them on amazon and ebay i think .
