maybe he's created a new alloy

Actually if you can get the phone apart completely and clean the milk residue there is some hope, but it's still 50/50. It may be permanently damaged.

expert opinion.. maybe from an SE employee you want? well the only logical thing to do is disassemble it and just like maxie said... get rid of milk residues.. on every corner of the phone just be careful enuff that you wont loosen some cables attached to something.

which i assume your afraid to do... next best thing is to bring it to an SE shop. let them do the dirty work...

cheers!

@saqibq...
wen i went to ind for vaction last july....my p800 got water locked....rain water!!!!i realised it only wen the phone stopped charging and the camera turned like predators eye........
i took it to the SE service center.....they told me it was "water locked"....they told tht reparing the phone is too risky coz the board was wet...so i had to sign an agrement tht if the phone sttopd workin after the repair....i am the 1 responsible.....so i gave up....i use to charge my batt.thru my sisters p800.....wen i came to riyadh after vac.i put the phone for charging....eventhough it din charge.......but after an hr i realised tht the batt was FULL!!!!!.........
so this is it....my phone does not show any indication of charging....but charges......but the indicator is always wrong.....goes down to 50% comes bk to 60...etc.....now its been almost 6 mnths after tht....im still using it...

so better dont play with the board....as its risky for the professionals too...

best of luck....

I'm guessing lift up the hinge-like clip on the top? Hard to tell from those pics

It's true, SE don't touch liquid damaged equipment. In the SE engineer's troubleshooting guide for mobile repairs, it says liquid damaged equipment must be replaced with new components (obvious, when you think about it). So even if they only needed to replace the board, it's not an economical repair. They won't touch it because they can't gaurantee the work.

Regarding the cables, it's quite easy to remove them, they have a latch that when pushed forward allows the cables to be easily extracted from the clip. Installation is a reversal of the removal procedure.

As long as you are careful and don't use undue force you won't break anything (standard disclaimer yada yada yada)

there is a standard way of connecting such cabling. There is a part of the clip that slides away from the connector so that the cable can be removed. When the part is in place, it locks the cable in place.

See the green outlined part below, the red arrows are the direction you should gently move the green outlined part so that you can remove the cables. However the picture is not very clear, so I am partly guessing. The green outlined part may lift up rather than slide.
