Is my HP laptop done? (Water damage)?

I have an hp pavilion g7-1167dx from late 2011, and I just got water on the keyboard.. The display turned off a few seconds after. I ran a towel over the keyboard and took out the battery immediately. I tried turning it back on a few minutes later. The fan and disk drive seemed to run, but the display wasn't turning on, and the fan was going loudly. What's going on with my computer? Thanks to anyone who helps.

    The water goes through the key board and onto mother board, hard drive and other internal components.

    Remove battery and all access covers on bottom and let it dry our for several days or a week until it is completely dry inside and out then try powering it on. Water conducts electricity and shorts out electronics.
