MBP ‘13 showing prohibitory symbol after spilling a little water on keyboard

I spilled a little water on my keyboard, turned it off and propped it up in a V shape trying to get water to drain out. I tried turning it on later and was able to type in my password and have it start to log on before I got the prohibitory symbol (circle with slash through it).

Will leaving it off overnight before trying to start it again or is it probably toast?

I would suggest, before doing this, NOT turning it on.

Be patient. Get silica gel packets. Rice. Make sure you dry the piss out of it.

Then do what dude said.
