Diana-

Remove the battery and disconnect the power NOW, and put the Macbook Air in front of a fan that blows a stream of air across the keyboard and into the openings on whichever side of the device has the most openings (network jacks, vents, whatever). 

Fortunately it's just water, so leaving it in front of a fan for anywhere from 3 to 12 hours (overnight) should be sufficient to cause it to evaporate and dry out without corrosion.  The risk is that power may have been conducted by the water to places that cause damage to small components, but that's not highly likely, and in any case you'll find out tomorrow when you put the battery back in and plug in the power again.

Most likely, your symptoms are going to be limited to the trackpad and other control inputs.  Trackpads in particular are sensitive to water, but return to normal when dry.

Spilled a glass of water and I tried turning it off, letting it dry upside down, but mouse and keyboard don't work, the screen flickers, and it keeps turning itself on and off without my input.

Any help?

I tried opening the back of it, but don't have those tiny tools, any idea where to get one? does sudoroom have any?

Thanks,

Diana
