    Was cycling, raining at that time.. Was cycling pretty fast, 30 odd km/h. So when i reached a puddle, the water splashed on my bag. Somehow water seeped through. Still working fine now. But i think it hasnt touched the internal circuitry yet. Only touched the back where the battery is. So how long should i turn it on until its safe?

    take to it with a hair dryer and hope the water had no contaminants, otherwise that internal circuitry is done for....

    Huh?

    Nope, it is just a hole. but depending on the notebook that hole may lead to internals without separation.

    I would suggest you take the affected area apart as much as you can (i.e. into as many basic components as you can) and let it dry for a day or two. ASAP. :)
