Rebuild it!
Though I would buy that processor with some dubiousness. It might not work in your laptop, even though it is the same socket.
Dad's computer, desperately want to save :(

You seem to be discounting the most probably damaged part: the motherboard.
But if it's just a science project, then knock yourself out

Well, either way, if I don't buy a new motherboard yet, I'll definitely know if the old one still works or not. My dad plans to buy each piece of hardware one at a time to conserve some money. But if I am gonna do that, I want to know if adding working parts to a dead motherboard will harm the new hardware in any way?

You do know that you will have to replace that laptop motherboard with an exact replacement don't you? It's not like swapping motherboards in a desktop PC. I would be very surprised if you didn't damage some parts on the existing motherboard when you shorted out the USB port with the spoon. If you blew some voltage regulation circuits and your voltages are high, you could damage any new components you try in the damaged motherboard. It's not a road that I would take. Finding an exact replacement motherboard for that make and model laptop could be a tricky adventure and end in frustration.

Acer Aspire1360 - Motherboard on eBay (end time 12-Nov-10 12:40:00 GMT)You do know that you will have to replace that laptop motherboard with an exact replacement don't you?

This looks exactly like the motherboard I'm holding in my hands
All the orange squares/dots/holes are in exactly the same place in the picture in real life.
And the "Aspire 1360" is the make/model of the dead laptop.
