Got water damage in my laptop, bought a new motherboard, because I switched it on to soon. Now I disassembled the laptop and found corrosion and a burn mark on the video card(see pic). What should I do? Clean it with isoprop? Are nylon brushes ESD save or should I use horsehair?

The video card is toast. Sorry bud. Look at the chip (CH) just north of the burn. It's discolored. Most likely from the chip annealing due to heat from a failure.

Now some systems can run without a dedicated video card. Mainly those with i3-5-7, if you assemble without the card it may work. However assembling with the card is a 99% chance of breaking the new Motherboard.
If there is a burn mark on any contact NEVER PLUG IT IN!

Grab a microscope, flux, solder, ultra sonic cleaner etc etc and get to work. Don't have 15k lying around, might be time to get a new card
