Unfortunately this is not an easy task. To do this properly the Electro is going to have to disassembled, the top circuit board removed and the the board really should be PC Board solvent washed. Its potential possible to do this with warm pure deionized water.

If you don't have repair experience I do not recommend you try this yourself. You should send/take your 5D to a qualified service tech.

Hopefully the liquid didn't get inside the switch and pot/encoder casings or they will likely need to be replaced.

Thank you for your reply. I cleaned buttons with alcohol and cloth. I did not open the panel. Now it looks everithing fine, buttons are working. I washed several times until buttons works. Thank you.

good to hear you were able to sort this without disassembly.
