A rodent shitted on my GFX Card. What to do?

You never know what conductive elements are in the "sh!t"

[Offtopic] Btw, I'm really curious to see the rodent that can get through the floppy drive slot! [/Offtopic]

Ok, I will do it.
I posted the original one so that you guys can notice each & every small component on the PCB.

Pics resized to 2MP. I hope this much is enough to see the minute card details.

Update : Now the monitor is not even working on onboard graphics. My HDD is unformatted. Even the POST is not getting displayed. It was working fine till yesterday.

Looks like it is not the gfx card at fault. Dust clean the system after removing all connections. Reconnect and then reboot. Btw, be careful with the HDD connection as if it is non-SATA, then the cables tend to not plug in tight after you remove them after a long in time.

My PC doesn't beeps while booting. Neither it used to beep when it was working fine before.

Remove the floppy drive & then insert a blank panel over the area. I think I should have done it too. Still the PC is lying unattended now, I hope nothing goes bonkers again.

Test your GPU on another system.

Clean it nicely with Isopropyl Alcohol.

Clean it with a lint free cloth, and keep blowing air where ever you wipe.
