My phone won't turn on after water damage under the sim tray.
There is a red water damage indicator underneath the sim tray, is there any chips below the board that might be damaged?

With water damage, you have to decontaminate the logic board before doing anything else, otherwise there will be latent issues down the road.
Not every water-damaged phone is recoverable and depending on the kind of liquid (salty, dirty, filthy), sometimes the success rate is quite low. That said, IMHO, it's always worth a try otherwise we are just piling up the e-waste.
The water is inside the phone, on the logic board and under the shields, even under the IC's. The real problem is the mineral deposits that can cause short circuits or the corrosion that is taking place as the water evaporates. Leaving the power on the device accelerates the process. The longer you let a phone sit, the more time you are giving corrosion to damage your logic board. The saltier or harder the water is, the more damage will occur. The water needs to be displaced, not evaporated.
The proper way treat a wet phone is to do the following:
You should also replace the battery if it has swollen. Resist the temptation to pop it to let the gas out. A compromised Li-ion battery is a fire hazard. If the device appears to power up but behaves erratically, then use a tool like 3uTools to flash the firmware as it may be corrupted.
A professional repair shop that does water damage repair may be able to recover your data because they have access to pro-level ultrasonic baths and specialized cleaners as well as the skills to troubleshoot your board. Many shops have a no data/no fee policy so you don't have to spend money to find out if the data is recoverable or not.

Would 70% isopropyl alcohol work for this?
If that's all you have, then it will do.
Unfortunately there’s only one way to check. Thats to take the mother board out and see if it has any corrosion on the back. If its noticeable. The water definitely did some damage to one of the circuits. If not than its most likely a lab repair. Underneath the logic board, you’ll see a very thin piece of fabric covering a big piece of the board. Water can easily get absorbed under there.
