Hi @crazy10vibes
You’re best bet is to tell her sooner than later and getting it out of the way. She’s bound to find out about it anyway.
The sooner that the laptop is properly cleaned and dried the better the chance of getting it working properly again
As you know water and electronics and electricity are not a good mix.
The water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the laptop’s operating design and could damage the components.
It is good that you have removed the battery already as this will minimise any further damage
You need then to dis-assemble the rest of the laptop and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 90%+ (available at electronics parts stores and some pharmacies) to remove all traces of corrosion and water. Do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain scents and other ingredients and is not as effective. If you do check the label to verify the amount of IPA
Here is a link that describes the process.
Electronics Water Damage
As always with electronics, especially surface mounted PCBs be gentle when handling and especially when brushing away the corrosion. You do not want to remove any components from the board.
Hopefully after you have done all this the laptop might possibly work correctly again.
Here is a link to the service manual which may be of some help in dis-assembling the laptop
If this process seems too daunting, take your laptop to a reputable, professional laptop repair service, experienced in liquid damage repair and ask for a quote for a repair. If you decide to do this, do it sooner than later.
