Spilt soda on laptop.

I accidentally spilt soda on my ASUS ROG Strix G17 (2020, i7-10750h, rtx 2070). I turned if off immediately while cleaning up the soda. I know to leave it off for 24 hours, but I'm worried about it. There are no ASUS service centers around me. 

 

I pried off the space bar and noticed that there's a clear film and there's little to no space for the soda to seep through. Is the G17 liquid resistant? Will I just have to worry about sticky keys or should I take it in for a cleaning? It was about 5 to 15 seconds between the soda spill and the clean up.

 

Most of the soda was under the spacebar/on the track pad I think btw.

Nope, if asus does something like that, they brand the shit out of it. It is probably there as a dust shield to protect keys/domes. As for sticky keys, its a little too early to say.

Should be taken apart, battery disconnected, and inspected to see if any liquid got further in, if yes thoroughly cleaned all through.

I can't right now, at work. It didn't seem like much liquid was underneath the space bar. I'll check it when I get home and clean it if I have to.
