Spilt wine on my laptop

[Woodlands]

Grr. The blinking cat knocked my glass of wine over the other night and some of it went over my laptop keyboard. I switched it off right away and took the battery out - I then left it upside down with some kitchen paper below the keys for 36 hours. However I think it's buggered - when I put the battery in and plug the charger in the screen just flashes.

Any advice? Or is it dead? I posted on Money matters for advice about a home insurance claim (we have accidental damage cover).

This happened to me once. PC World cleaned it out and I had a new keyboard. It was alright after that.
