i had my computer on, unplugged sitting on a table. my roommate knocked over his mug of water and spilled it into the back of and underneath my macbook pro. i lifted it up and wiped it off immediately. i realized it automatically turned off. my first instinct was to turn it on but nothing happened (prob bad) then I went to plug it in (bad again). when i plugged it in, the green light did turn on as if it were charging but it wouldn't turn on. nothing weird happened, no weird light flashing or screen activity. it is just off. then my roommate ran to read up on what to do.

now it is upside down with a fan blowing on it so it can dry off. what else should i do? i shook it out and droplets came out.

should i just wait a few days before trying it again? i've had this computer for less than a week, it's brand new and it's concerning that such a minor incident would ruin it.


please help!!
