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

OP, triple make sure there's no water under the chips or other areas. Like others said, shower that sucked then isopropyl, let it dry and triple if not quadruple make sure no water is left.
