you should take out all internals and dry them near a radiator for a good few hours..

by that i mean, the wlan card, mem modules, hdd, battery.

just in case, the laptop might work now, but falling into water is usually the death warrant for circuit boards and IC's.

You just need a precision screwdriver and ground yourself touching a radiator before taking that stuff out.
