Not necessarily you need to let it dry take the battery out and leave it out give it a day to dry fully and leave it open. Then put battery back in and start up. If it doesn't work it means you crossed one or some of the circuits when the water hit the keyboard and got to the motherboard and it will need to be looked at by a certified tech. If your under warranty you can probably get it fixed at little to no cost but if you have no coverage and you find out the motherboard is fried based on the cost of the laptop and the type of laptop it may be cheaper to go buy a new one.Laptop parts are very expensive separately and its not cost effective to replace the bigger parts.

Answer 3

open it up and put it in the sun for an hour.

dont let it completely bake though.. lol

worked for me

Hope it works!!

I'd get it looked at.  It could be as simple as the laptop now overheating and a new fan/heatsink/thermal compound could fix it.  This is relatively inexpensive.

It's also possible that your laptop is shorting out now, though.  And if this is the case, you'd likely need an entirely new motherboard, and this isn't often worth fixing on laptops.
