    did you take the keyboard off and let the internal components dry off?

    You can speed the process along with a hair dryer, but don't do too much with it, you don't want to melt anything or damage it. I recommend that you wait overnight, don't push it. If it weren't for the spill proof keyboard I would say several days.
