    Was it just water or something else? If the liquid contained any salts you may be out of luck. I believe the boards are conformally coated but even that is not always waterproof.
    Did you try to bake the board at, lets say, 70 degrees C for a while? There may be some liquid hiding under the chips that takes longer to dry out.

    It might need some compressed air around it to shift any remaining moisture.

    Water overflow on the upper surface of the board. LIMIT, JOB and IN/OUTPUT ports were no longer seems to work correctly. What do you think about replacing the HC224 IC ? Thank you a lot.

    Thanks Jerry, It's just only water and I haven't tried your way yet. I will give it a try.

    Thanks for your advice. I tried to dry it with compressed air even the dryer but nothing changed (
