PC Potential liquid damage (AMD fine Wine incident)

[MadSkiLLz]

Good day all, I am posting this for someone else. Unfortunately earlier today my sisters boyfriend accidently spilt some wine on his pc and now it seems like the gpu and or other components might be damaged as the pc will not post an image on startup. Unfortunately I am not in the same town as him as he is located in CPT. So I am in urgent need of a reputable GPU/motherboard repair agent who can perform a diagnosis and potentially repair any damaged components if need be.
these are the specs:

Location: CPT Kenridge

PC details:
3900x
Asus x370-f strix
16GB Gskill sniper x
corsair 550w psu
Sapphire Nitro RX580 8G

So if anyone can assist please let me know urgently. Even if you can provide assistance with testing the gpu alone.

Was the PC on/plugged in when the spill happened?
What has been tried? How bad was the spill?

With spills, it is always a bad idea to try boot too soon after the spill, even after you cleaned it off one should always wait for it to dry out completely before attempting to plug power back in and boot.

I hope someone can assist.

LoL true but I find when I need it, it's all finished and I have to " make a plan "

Funny enough I've even used JW Red once, just like 2 caps of it 😅

I imagine that to be true but at that point water is going to work too.

No officer I swear it was only supposed to be a CPU, no idea why there's a case of wine in there.
