MacBook Pro 13" Touchbar Water Spill!

Okay, I broke the cardinal sin of storing a water bottle next to my laptop. I know, I'm an idiot... but please help.

The laptop was off when the water spilled, so I'm hoping the fans didn't distribute any of the water too far. I made sure it didn't turn on 100% until it was dry the next day (auto boot was annoying... off now)

So day 4

It turns on and works mostly fine, there is a water stain inside the LCD that is slowly drying and looks like it will recover 100%. The bad part, the touch bar is completely unresponsive!!!!

So my question is, should I open my laptop case to look for and clean corrosion? Will opening the bottom case void my warranty? (I'm hoping the liquid idicators haven't been tripped, can I check these) Is there anything I can do to help the touchbar?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Popping off the bottom cover won’t invalidate your warranty. If you use a crowbar and make a mess then Apple would likely deny your warranty coverage.

As far as fixing your system this will take a bit of effort are you us to it? From the sounds of it I think you’ll be better served finding someone local who has better skills and experience repairing MacBook systems.
