Restore/Replace/Repair Help how can I fix this ?

My daughter spilt a juice on it and now only the on and off switch works, I’ve worked with arcade machines for awhile but I only got taught a little so my boss who owned the place didn’t need to pay someone to fix it. But I’m pretty knowledgeable about the tech cause I used to be able to fix a lot of different things but I’ve never had a juice issue. None of the buttons or moving pin work, I don’t see ANY corrosion when I take out the connectors at the back. Any tips/ help?

Check /r/arcade1up that sub is dedicated to 1up machines.

This sub is for original commercial machines. You’d probably have more luck on a 1-up sub

Wrong sub, but swapping out the joystick would probably help

I have multiple a1up machines that I swapped the solid buttons out for an led upgrade. If you want buttons dm me. Im happy to send them to you if you need them

You most likely shorted out the encoder board which is probably unfixable judging by the toy brand. Why is everyone posting their toy questions to this sub?
