In June 2017 Apple updated its 13" MacBook Air with a newer Broadwell Intel Core i5 processor, resulting in slightly increased performance and battery life.

Spilled water with laptop closed but went in sides

I spilled a good amount of water onto my closed MacBook Air.

I didn’t turn it off immediately because I didn’t know that’s what you were supposed to do. I did dry off all the water around the sides and it seemed to be working fine.

I came back a little later and tried to turn it on but it had turned its self off on its own.

I stupidly plugged in the charger thinking the battery might have coincidentally been dead. The green light did come on but eventually started to flicker.

I currently have the device flipped over and am letting it dry.

Wondering if it’s hopelessly broken or if there’s still a chance it could work? Please help!
