If you can get the mobo back to life; it may not last long due to
corrosion.
Best thing to do would be to replace. Be sure to check out
the cables and make
sure they weren't munched on. :)

For all the talk of corrosion, it should not be as bad as
you imply. Boards are coated and contacts are gold plated.
Exposed solder is slightly susceptible (but frankly I don't
know the details on this newer lead-free solder, ie- what
specific blend they're currently using), as would be a
component leads. Even so, it's not like it's going to eat
through them entirely, the issues would more likely be the
mechanical contacts which are predominately gold plated.
