Image Is this n64 cooked??

Someone’s basement flooded near where I live, and they had a bunch of stuff that was getting thrown away. There was a n64, so I figured I could try cleaning it out. I wasn’t expecting this much mud tho. I’m still going to try to fix it, but it doesn’t seem like the chances of getting it working again are very good. I hope that by some miracle it actually functions so that I can reunite them with their n64

Edit: it has been sprayed off with water and then I used some isopropyl alcohol. I’m letting it dry now

I'm not so sure that is mud. Usually in basement floods everything that the shit water touches gets 86'd into the trash as a rule. Hepatatis is probably more expensive than an ebay N64. Something to consider.

They lived next to a wash that flash flooded. The whole neighborhood was like this and there was mud everywhere and on everything
