Does my laptop still have a chance?!?

I know how silly this sounds, but my cat happened to knock over a vase of flowers/water that was close to my laptop, and water got all over my computer. I wiped it up, and didn't realize that my computer was sitting in a puddle of water until i came back from the gym about an hour later. I let it dry for 24 hours and completely wiped up my computer, but of course my computer is all messed up still. Any suggestions on where i can go to get this fixed (geek squad?), or do i just need a whole new computer now? I really can't afford a new computer at the moment. Where should i go, and approximately how much might it cost to fix all that water damage and get my computer up and running again? It turns on and everything still, just the keys are messed up, and it won't let me get past the set-up screen. This sucks!! Help please!

Does my laptop still have a chance?!?
do you still have the warranty?? if you do just go back to where you bought it and maybe they will fix it for you... if you dont i suggest you get fixed at a good reliable computer store, and if its really broken and the cant be fixed then i'm afraid you have to get a new one.... :(
Reply:May be only the keyboard is damaged. So go ahead and tell a computer repair shop that your keyboard has gone bad. Get it rectified and then check. If everything works fine then no need to buy a new one. I think you Laptop vendor service centre (like Compaq and HP service centre) should be of great help in this regard.
Reply:I work for geek squad. What will happen is they will send it out to service. If you tell them there was water spilled on it they will not send it out. If you don't mention the water damage they will send it out to Geek Squad City in kentucky and they will open the pc and see water damage inside and they will automatically refuse to repair under most warrantys. If you don't have accidental damage warranty then this one is trash. Just from what I send out normally this one will cost well over $500. Plus they will make you pay for shipping regardless if you get it repaired.
