Would my motherboard to my pad be no good due to water damage it’s been 3 months still won’t turn on. The little sticker is pink still but my battery smells burnt. Could I take out the mother and use some air dust ?

You may need to replace the battery as it sounds like it shorted out. A burnt smell more than likely means the battery is damaged.

Have you tried replacing the battery yet?
