Spilled Water on MacBook Air and now won't turn on :(
Hi guys, I joined ifixit to get the best advice possible on my situation. Last night, I spilled about 1/3 cup of water on my macbook air's keyboard. I had a silicon keyboard guard on but somehow the water seeped through the edges and maybe through the vents of the machine. I what water visible and thought I was ok. That was the mistake. I didn't not boot down and wait for the machine to dry but continued to use it. About an hour later, the machine turned off. For the remainder of the night, I placed macbook air in a sealed bag of rice to sit overnight. In the morning, I tried turning the machine on and it wouldn't turn on. When I plug the magsafe connector in, it shows orange when before it didn't show anything. Is this a sign of anything? Is there anything I can do to save my computer. Is the logic board damaged? I have an appointment with the Genius Bar but not sure what they can do. I appreciate all of your help guys. Thank you.

Is this a good question?
Ok guys, I tried again and it booted up with the Apple Logo! I immediately turned it off, turned it upside down and will try let it dry more before trying again. This is a good sign right? How much longer before trying to boot again? Also, I placed it in front of a window with direct sunlight which may have sped up the drying process. Thanks.
