@OP ... best guess is your laptop is toast. Chances are pretty good (almost 100%) you have short circuited the mobo, the battery, or both. HDD might be okay. About all you can do is get a USD 2.5 inch HDD external enclosure (SATA or EIDE as applicable), hook it to another computer, and see if you can extract some data.
Unless you are using a Panasonic Toughbook, fluids and laptops, with or without electricity, are not compatible at all.
Good Luck.
