Spilled liquid over my Toshiba laptop

The first thing that you should do when water was spilled over your laptop is to turn it off and do not connect it to any power, remove your battery too. If you know this, it will save your laptop. I should have known this information earlier. Never turn on your laptop. Well, I did not know this so now I'm crossing my fingers that my laptop will be fixed by Tuesday. What happened was, my sister was using it and she spilled soup over the touchpad. She wiped it and I thought that no liquid got inside the laptop since it did not turn off or anything. It worked perfectly fine, then she closed the laptop. I took the laptop (tilted it) and powered it on in my room. It did not boot so I thought that it's because the battery is drained. I put the charger and it's still out. That is the only time that I noticed some liquid inside the touch pad. That's the time I panicked. I wiped it and checked again if the laptop is still working. I repeated that process several times and hoped that tomorrow it will be fixed, it was still the same. I went to a repair shop earlier but the person said that he can only entertain new laptops until Tuesday. Now, I went to a computer shop and searched the internet whether there's a chance that I my problem can be fixed. I think the chance is so slim considering that I might have fried my laptop. I pray that it will be fixed within this week, and if not at least I can still recover my data. It sucks really to be ignorant!

Having this in mind, I'm praying for it to be fixed.  The thing that I'm thinking now is the project that I'm working on. I'm almost finished and I have to submit it by Thursday. I no longer know how to start again from scratch considering that I put all my efforts to it.

Updated version:
The motherboard was fried so I have to look for a replacement. The problem is that it is really hard to look for a motherboard. I searched the internet and saw some laptops for sale being sold in Europe and in China. The technician told me that it's better to buy a new laptop instead of buying motherboard overseas because buying a new one is cheaper and more hassle free.

So, I just bought a new one, Asus x501a intel i3-3210M. I was surprised that this i3 performed better that my previous i5 because the internet speed was a lot faster. I also really like the soundmaster in asus, I no longer have to connect it to a speaker unlike toshiba.

Despite all of this, I still have plans to buy a new motherboard for the toshiba laptop.
