First thing you need to do is remove all power (AC and battery). Next, remove any pluggable components (Memory, PCMCIA, CD/DVD drive, etc). Then you can either let it sit for about a day (in a warm dry environment) or use a hair dryer to blow warm dry air throughout it. Once it is fully dried out you will need to have an external monitor to plug in. Then put the pluggable components and battery back in and see what happens when you power it up.
Problems that may/have occurred... Blown display, blown display adapter, blown motherboard. And, depending upon what has blown will be the factor as to your next step. Good luck!
