My Laptop’s Motherboard Was Corroded But It Still Turns On

Questions are at the bottom of the post
So, my laptop ''(which I just bought 4 months ago)'' got rained on and it causes corrosion to my laptop’s motherboard.
I went to the service center and they showed me what happened to my laptop and how it looks like. I personally think it’s not a huge corrosion but I still want to know your thoughts.
Anyway, they told me that it’d cost me around $600 to repair my laptop. I said I’ll think about it and went home.
When I get home, I immediately put it on a rice container and planned to keep it there for 3-4 days.
My plan is to keep using it after I drain it on a rice container since I can still turn it on and I don’t have enough money to have it repaired.
''Also, just for the background:''
The laptop’s issues are some keyboard keys are not working ''(backspace and enter key)'', and it initially won’t turn on unless the charger’s plugged in ***''(but it somehow got resolved when the technician at the service center looked at my unit)''***
So my questions are:
1. Is my plan okay or do I have to have the corrosion cleaned up?
2. Can I have it cleaned up on a local technicians? The service center said they can’t clean it up and they just offer replacement.
3. ***Most importantly,*** in the case where the motherboard really gave up. Can I still have it replaced with the new one, or will the laptop be beyond repair?
