Laptop dead after cleaning with 99% isopropyl alcohol

A couple of days ago I decided to clean my laptop in preparation for my summer break. I used isopropyl alcohol and a lot got inside the guts of my laptop. I didn't think much of it since ethanol isn't conductive. After a minute or so i powered it on and it worked just fine. After this I decided I didn't need to actually use my laptop so I turned it off. After about 15-30 minutes I wanted to use it again and... Go figure... It doesn't turn on anymore. It did however still charge which was noticeable because of the battery light indicator. The power button does not light up at all. A couple days after this the battery indicator no longer works. My dad noticed there was a reset power function but that didn't work either. I have not yet opened up the laptop but I could do it given the expired warranty. Thank you so much for already even reading this.

The laptop we're dealing with here is an MSI thin gf63 with an RTX 2050 and an intel core I5 12450H

If there is any else you'd want to know, just tell me and I'll do whatever I can!
