If anything, remove the CMOS Battery and the housing for the GPU and you can wash the boards with water. Immediately pat it dry and place in a 200*F 90*C degree oven or an oven set on Warm (WM) to help it dry quickly. (the GPU PCB and the Motherboard can be there and be safe.) Any higher and you're going to risk melting connectors. To be extra safe, wrap in some paper towels and set on the racks after the oven gets to temp. Turn off the oven and then let them sit there for about an hour or two.
From there you can use a corrosion removal spray or solution to try and undo any damage.

If not, you can no confidently say that you need to spend the money on the now more expensive GPU and Motherboard. Clean the contacts of the ram as well as the power supply connectors with rubbing alcohol just incase.
Edit: Reddit had a stroke when I used autocorrect and doubled a bunch of shit.
The fact you had to jiggle it indicates a bad connection. The soldering looks fine from the photo but take a real good look with a magnifying glass and see if there are any hairline cracks. I'm picking it's oxidation of the contacts inside the switches. Get some CO Contact cleaner, get it inside the switches and give them a good workout while it dries. Make sure the power is off of course.
FYI the switches connect both left and right A speakers together and the left and rights B speakers together. I always thought they were parallel but a comment on your pics could be right. Anyway if you connect the left speakers in series and connect them to just the left A terminals you're doing exactly what the switch does. And same for the rights to the right B terminals.
