It works!

I spilled sprite on my pc, and instantly it shut off. I unplugged everything and take it apart fast and gently. Then I started blow drying it with warm air. Any tips or advice for what I can do to ensure everything works. I know there is a chance it’s done for but I can at least try [Edit] thank you so much everyone for the advice and tips. I did everything I could have done and with your help my pc is up and running again thank you so much!

If it instantly shut off, either it saved itself (doubtful) or it's dead. And could be more than one part dead. 

 

Fingers crossed. Clean it up.

Well if it triggered the PSU saftey before the board got any short, it might boot up. 50% chance atm.
