Isopropyl alcohol (spray if possible -- use a lot) is as good a cleaner for something like this as anything along with a toothbrush scrubbing. Watch out for the power filters. Remove bottom covers to get any drippage on the bottom of the boards. Don't forget the front panel board (there's usually a microprocessor on it). If nothing else a good cleaning will remove most of the odor and corrosive materials so a servicer might be willing to work on it and have a fair chance of success.
