I have a 2010 Macbook Pro that recently got wet while closed. The display, keyboard, and trackpad now do not work. Usb mouse and keyboard work, and external display works. Can boot and use computer with externals. Is this most likely a logic board issue or separate problem?

This "could be" a logic board issue. It seems like the most likely conclusion since everything is integrated and connected to the logic board.
I'd take it to your nearest Genius Bar for an evaluation.
I've no warranty and I'd rather just figure it out myself.
Water and electronics do not mix well and genius bar evaluation/diagnosis is free. Of course, a repair would not be free, but at least you'd have a professional diagnosis.
The last owner took it to a genius bar and got the incorrect diagnosis of the logic board being bad. I found out it was improperly seated RAM. It worked perfectly, then the spill occurred. I'd much rather just diagnose and repair this myself as the nearest genius bar is 30+ mi. away. Just need some guidance as to what is most likely wrong.
What's most likely wrong is that your logic board is dead. As has been stated - water and electronics do not mix well. If you'd prefer guesses over a technical diagnosis, you've come to the right place...
