Hi, Do not turn on your laptop! Disconnect the charger (if connected) and then remove the battery (if possible) to minimize any further damage to the laptop caused by the action of liquids on electronic components. Having power available to the motherboard can make it worse. If the laptop has an internal battery (you don’t state the make and model number) the laptop needs to be opened and then the battery needs to disconnected from the systemboard. After this all the affected parts need to be thoroughly cleaned using Isopropyl Alcohol 90%+ to remove all traces of corrosion and liquids. Hopefully after this it might work properly again. Here’s a link to a guide which explains the process.
