I have this macbook which suffered liquid damage in a corner/side. It is now stuck in a bootloop, it tries to turn on, you hear the chime, sometimes see the apple, then it goes off. If I hold the Option Key (to select the boot drive) it actually stays on at that screen. If I select something, it goes off again. Is this something potentially repairable / worth it?

Edit: Thanks Dan for replying, I'm adding pictures of the inside, and the screen just below.
Also I want to add that I haven't told the full story. I actually already opened the macbook to inspect it and I prematurely went ahead and took the time to clean some of the corrosion with Isopropyl alcohol. Then I let the laptop dry for +24 hours, next to a small dehumidifier. Afterwards I tried to start it up again but the original situation I described remains the same.
I circled in red the areas where I observed a bit of corrosion, though I regret not having taken a photo before, as I understand now it might be harder to isolate the problem. I wish I had thought of messaging the forum before doing anything!
