So my gf was being a c$*#, apparently some women act like this when they are pregnant and while we were arguing she took my Mega SG and gave it a bath with the dishes. It’s been about two weeks now and I haven’t tried to turn it on. I wanted to open it up and try and clean off the components with alcohol, but I can’t figure out how to open it. I’m thinking about plugging the console n to see if it works, any advice?
Waiting two weeks to do anything unfortunately is not good. It for sure needs to be opened and cleaned and thorougly inspected. You could email the support team at Mega SG and inquire about sending it in to be serviced
and inspected properly or they could assist in the disassembly portion. Have you used a hair dryer or anything on it recently or after it got wet? After it got wet what did you do with it right after? Hope you can get it sorted.
My wife doesn't like video games either, especially while PREGANNANANT. She's seen members of her family toss away lives and marriages to video games, so she gets nervous. Luckily most of my gaming is on handhelds, easily tucked away, a safe distance from the sink. All my TV consoles live in bins and only come out when they're being played. Outta sight, outta mind.
I'm not worried about your Mega SG; I've had consoles get crazy wet and then recover, and I live in Arizona, where a thin layer of tap water can leave 2-4 inches of impenetrable calcium.
I'm also not worried about your relationship, but since this is the internet, DUMP HER AND GET A LAWYER
I'd put it in a big container of rice for a few days to absorb the moisture. This worked with my son's laptop that he decided to drink water next to and dumped the glass on it.

The rice thing is a myth--it literally does nothing more than leaving things to dry on their own in these instances. In your case, you left it for a few days and the water evaporated. If you end up in a situation like OP's, the best thing to do is to disassemble the hardware as much as possible and get all of the water out as quickly as possible. Even if it doesn't corrode, the impurities in the water can get into all sorts of places it shouldn't be, bridge tiny connections, etc.
^Actually, I disassembled the laptop and got out most of the water first. I also turned the device every which way to get anything else out. The rice, in this case was instant rice and it helped absorb the last of the moisture I missed. I guess I should have been more specific in my exact procedures . I'm sure the OP has turned it every which way to get out most of the water but is having a hard time getting into the device. Thats why I suggested an agent to try to remove the last residual amounts of moisture. After two weeks though, who knows whats going on. If open air is not comforting enough, then why not try an absorbent of some kind. It also might aid in the acquiring of a new one, since he can claim he tried everything.
She needs to know that you'll walk out on her if she keeps pulling stunts and that your company isn't unconditional shit like this will keep happening when you are complacant

No, we need to make more excuses for why it's ok for someone to act like this.
I hope you get this device working again and all can be forgiven. It's both unfortunate that this happened and that this grievance was aired on the internet.
Thanks everybody for their suggestions on how to fix the console, I don't have the proper bit to open it up, but I'll pick one up tomorrow. I'll post some pics before I begin cleaning, hopefully someone with better trained eyes can point out anything out of place.

You should throw her mega sg in the water
Clearly this is how it went down:
BF: *Playing MEGA SG before work* "Honey, did you pack my lunch?"
GF: "What did you just say to me?!?!" *Storms to living room, grabs MEGA SG cords a flailing - drops in the sink"
BF: "What the fuck?!?!?! Oh I see, you wanna play that game?" *Storms to kitchen, grabs Keurig power cord flailing - smashes into kitchen floor"
GF: "You asshole, I can't even drink caffeine right now, I hate you." *Storms to living room, kicks the TV clean off the stand like a boss*
BF: "Bitch! You're fucking nuts!" *Storms to bathroom, sweeps the sink sending everything flying all over several bottles shattering"
GF: "Fine, I'll just look like shit from here on out!!!" *Storms to closet, finds bat, runs out to car and smashes OP's headlights"
BF: "BABE, why are we doing this??? I'm sorry, I love you so much."
GF: "I have no idea, I love you too, I'm so sorry." *Drops bat*
BF: "Wanna stay home from work today, eat ice cream, and watch Orange is the New Black?"
GF: "Yes, and we'll need to go shopping too. My feet hurt in these shoes and you need a new TV. I love you."

As I sit here playing Final Fantasy XIV with my wife, I tend to agree. >_>

This is seriously how I imagine relationships where people are willing to damage/vandalize the other person's property.
