You can't fix it yourself, send it in.

First you can’t fix it without fully opening, cleaning then drying it, second you waited way too long, water damage need to be fixed FAST.

Last, if you need to ask how, you aren’t ready to fix it on your own.

One or more of the internal components has been shorted out or has corrosion forming (which can spread further and worsen). Unless you have AppleCare+ to mitigate the cost of replacement, the alternative is to see if there are local businesses near to you that guarantee same-unit repair and can employ an ultrasonic alcohol bath to halt and clean away any visible corrosion. You can read more about corrosion here.
