Dead laptop help?

I just recently bought a Compaq presario for repair off ebay. I just got it today and began looking at it for problems.
I took the power button cover off and found there's no button board. I also found there was a soda spill on the keyboard. So I bought a new keyboard and the Board. Now. when I plug in this laptop no lights turn on at all. Its dead it has 500mbs of ram and no hard drive which I can get easily. Anyway how should I diagnose a dead battery/ DC plug or a bad motherboard? Which is most likely the problem? (Assuming the power cord works) ive yet to test the cord. Thx all

Opinion comming up .! you never should have bought it .

something spilled on it likely got into the motherboard and fried it also.
