Water damage to an HP TouchScreen.?

My friends had a fire a week after buying a new TouchScreen. I tried booting it, but get a message saying that the "CPU fan is not working, bootup is terminating". Given that the water damage from the fire took out the fan, how likely is it that the mobo is also trashed, and how would you investigate? There was no fire damage to it, but it was powered on during the fire.

Update:

It was surge protected. The fire began in electrical wiring, which promptly shut off power to the whole building.

If it was a regular desktop, I could answer your other questions. The TouchScreen has all the hardware built into the monitor, doesn't look like an easy task getting at things.

    humm Its really hard to say I would think that if the mobo was damaged you wouldnt get any message when booting just beeps and black screen the only way I know would be to replace the cpu fan and see if it boots. then run a stress test on computer like "sandra" see how it performs. Did you have to replace the power supply? Was it plugged into a surge protector or battery backup?
