Bit confused but there are no images in the LCD display and no audio also when taking movies but you can still view the camera’s menu options in the LCD display, is this about right?

Bit confused but there are no images in the LCD display and no audio also when taking movies but you can still view the camera’s menu options in the LCD display? Presumably then there are no images or movies with sound if you download them to a computer and try to view them there, is this about right?
If so there may be two problems.
One is that the CCD image sensor may be damaged etc. Here’s a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nmwt0frZns|video] that may help to gain access to the sensor so that it can be checked etc. Also found this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvLdv6PrBrU|video] which shows how to replace the LCD display in your camera which may also help, at least in opening the camera, if the first video is not relevant to your model.
The other is either with the microphone or the motherboard being damaged by the water. Cleaning it with a soft cloth may not have been enough and perhaps it needed to be cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available at electronics parts stores) to remove any contaminants that are in the water. Removing the battery was a good first step but corrosion can still occur due to the galvanic effect between the water and the different metals in a camera. The corrosion is ongoing until it has been properly cleaned away.
