Macbook pro - trackpad going mental

Hey there,
I got my trackpad only a bit wet this morning and it is being totally erratic now :mad:

It doesn't follow the finger movements, and even when I'm not touching the pad the cursor shifts and moves across the screen.

I've had to disable it just to get anything done.

I only touched it with wet fingers, there wasn't loads of liquid or anything. So I thought that it would have dried out by now but it hasn't improved at all really.

Does anyone have any idea what I could do to try and fix this?

Thank you

Just giving this a bump, as it's been a couple of days since happening and while it has improved slightly it's still acting erratically. I'm thinking now I might have to leave it in somewhere to get repaired?

Hmmm I'm not sure. Probably a hardware problem. You might get a better response in the Mac forum:
