    Spilled water on my laptop...help?

    Hi,
    I spilled a bit of water on my laptops keyboard. I'm not sure how much got in but when it did, I turned off the laptop right away, and got a towel and hair dryer to try to dry it. While I was drying it, the F3 key fell out and I can't get it back in.

    I kept it off for like 2 hours before I turned it back on and when I did, everything booted up fine but now only a few keys work. Maybe 5-6 keys work at different times.

    Each reboot, more random keys work but the ones that worked previuosly don't work, but might work 3 minutes later. Either way I only have maybe 5-6 keys, tops, working at any given time.

    I turned it off for another 2 hours thinking maybe it wasn't dry. Same thing.

    Gave as much details as I could, even though some of it may be irrelavant, as I don't know much about laptops and hopefully it will help narrow down the cause.

    Anyone know what could be the problem? Am I pretty much screwed and should just take it in to the shop? Or give it more time?

    Oh, and it's a Dell Inspiron 1150 if that matters.
