I spilled less then a half a cup of water onto my new (2 months Macbook pro. Right away I turned it off and turned it upside down to allow all water to spill out then used a blow dryer without heat for about 10 min. I was freaking out so I did turn it on like an idiot. I have to admit I turned it on maybe 3 times in an hour period. I did get the normal white screen with the apple timer but it was making a fanning sound. I turned it off before allowing it to boot up. I don’t see a way to take the battery out and if there was a way I don’t have a small enough screw driver. I left it upside down open with keyboard on the flat surface for about 3 hours. I now have it off sitting in front of a fan.

What do I do, what did I do wrong and what could I expect. My business partner bought this for me and I am scared to death I killed my new baby. And using this pc to write this now is reminding me just how much I would hate to lose my Mac. Please help
