Spilt juice!!...cannot compute!!

[Hayes-Holgate, Shaun]

   Hello and hellllp!!! Last night at the family Christmas dinner
   my nephew spilt juice on my powerbook! It immediately started
   mulfunctioning and now I can't get it to start.I dabbed all the juice
   off the exterior and interior and left it to dry overnight but this 
   morning its still SNAFU. Will applecare cover this? Is it fixable?
   Am I up cyber creek without a laptop? Help I need it for the holidays!

   Any advice mucho appreciado!
