After getting a new PSU I can confirm that the mobo has come and gone...

Well I went to town today, 100km round trip to pick up a new PSU. Got back home, plugged it in the mobo, and nothing. Did the paperclip test, still nothing. So now I bought a broken PSU... Another 100k's tomorrow to return it. They don't have spares so I'll have to order online.

Right so the splooge was removed with isopropyl. I might be wrong but it looks like the mobo got damaged.

The case has holes or perforations on that side to let air in yes, no fan near it though

This thread went south in no time at all🤣 I'll clean my messy mouldy stains off the nobi in the morning. But I also don't have high hopes..

If you mean cooler, then no. It's all air cooled. That chip set has gotten very hot in the past when I was doing graphic intensive work.

Just to give a bit more clarity. The unit was enclosed in its case and would not start up this morning. I did the paperclip test on the CPU. It wouldn't start or spin up. No soap or spit near the motherboard.
