Laptop liquid damage heads up

[vin17]

Yesterday afternoon I spilt maybe an ounce of OJ on the keyboard of my *school* IBM laptop. Now, the mouse works fine but when I would type one keystroke, it would type two characters on the screen, signifying a problem.

So within 5 minutes, I disconnected the AC supply and the battery and turned it over upside down.

I'm worried somewhat as I have average computer competency and am unsure of how damaged the laptop is and also because I'm unsure of my school's policy regarding this type of situation.

Comments/opinions on how minor/major the (technical) problem is appreciated.

Also, I will be bringing it into the IT department this morning.
