[SOLVED] ASUS Motherboard beeping after Water Damage

[LMBoater]

ASUS Q534UX Laptop
GTX 950M 2GB GDDR5 VRAM
Core i7-7500U
16GB SDRAM
2TB SATA HDD + 512GB SATA3 SSD
Windows 10 Premium
BIOS version: 301 (from ASUS)

PROBLEM: Water damage to unknown components. Trying to determine codes/diagnosis for beeping motherboard. The motherboard beeps one "beep" at a time, constantly. There is no pattern of long and short beeps, and no end to the beeping (in other words, I am NOT getting 4 beeps). Simply, "beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep...." The ASUS codes I have found do NOT address "constant beeping." I'm wondering if this indicates the damage is to the motherboard or CPU itself and if that means this is now a total loss, given the CPU is integrated.

Additional Background: SPILLED WATER on the keyboard. Shut down the machine, opened it, removed battery, and let dry in desiccant for a week.
When powering up: fan turns on, keyboard backlight comes on, and motherboard beeps incessantly. Screen blank. ASUS refuses to tell me what the beeping indicates. While this is a great laptop, it's 3 years old, so I'm not going to spend any significant amount trying to fix it.

Could be just about anything if water got into the system, bad keyboard can cause issues with booting, RAM slot damage, bad RAM, motherboard damage. No way to narrow things down without replacing things.
