I ordered a Left I/O Board and put it in, and the Macbook lives!
Lots of little fiddly bits, screws and connectors and such, but got
it back together, hit the power button and it came to life! Apple
charges $1200 for that surgery, a cash payer like me got a part for
$90 and spent maybe 4-5 hr on the thing. I might become Dr Mac.

So I just finished tearing apart the girl child's MacBook that the
cat knocked a glass of water over into. I followed the
instructions from ifixit, took out the main logic board which
looked fine. The guy at the apple store suggested the power input
board might be kaput so I took that out too, and lo, there was all
the crap under it and the board was completely nasty, oxidized,
schmutzed-up. You could see where the liquid was, probably shorted
in there or something. I'll clean it all out before reassembling.
They had replacements for $90 so ordered one, will see if that
makes it go again. Whole teardown was like 2hr, the instructions
are extremely good, and worth paying them for the part. Lots of
extremely fiddly little bits in there, I might need to get some
tiny fingers to put it back together though. Great web site.
