Ibook was completely flooded

My ibook G3 was completely flooded under the water. I've got the service manual but I don't think it has all the info I need. What can I do to clean it? I have been keeping a fan on it.

    It dried with dirty water inside it, which means there's a residue of
    dirt left inside it. Since it was under the water for eight hours and
    it can't hurt it any more, I am going to wash it out with distilled
    water. I've found something that can detox at a local electronics store and will let everyone know how it turns out,

SOURCE: ibook Was Flooded Under Water

i know this is gonna sound weird, but trust me, it works. get a zippable plastic bag large enough for your laptop and then put your laptop in it. after that, fill the bag halfway with uncooked rice and try to make sure there is as little as possible air in it. let it sit for about 2 days. this should work because the rice will absorb the water in your laptop.
hope this helps ;-)

YouTube videos play, but jump from scene to scene. Audio plays in real time and sounds fine.

turns out you have an iBook G3. Your computer is really too outdated to be expected to play video properly. You can add more RAM but it really will only partially help you out. the G3 computers just aren't made for decoding streaming video, especially now that YT has HD video.
