MacBook acting strange after I spilled tea on it.

Three days ago i spilled some tea over my Macbook Pro 15" 2009 (MC118). In panic i shut the Macbook down and restarted but it wouldn't start up. I immediately took my HDD out of the Macbook and left it for three days to dry. After i backed my HDD up i've put it back in and tried to restart and it actually did. The problem now is that when i type i'll get all kinds of symbols instead of letters, the trackpad is selecting everything except for what i want to select and the Macbook is reacting really slow, also graphically, for example when i push the volume buttons it goes really slow and minimazing screens goes in slowmotion. What could be wrong? and is it fixable?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

You may need to service and clean it using isopropyle alcohol. It happens when any of the connected or internal component starts acting weird either by shortage caused by liquid spilled over.
