Liquid Damaged Macbook Air

I had spilled iced tea (a small amount) onto my macbook air’s keyboard today. As soon as it touched the keyboard, it shut off. What do you suggest I do?

How will I know if there is liquid damage to MacBook? I spilled less than a tablespoon of coffee on the keyboard of my MacBook. I immediately turned it off and dried the liquid. It is resting in a v shape. How will I know if there is damage? When should I turn it on the see if it is working properly? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Spilled liquid on mac laptop I spilled liquid on my mac book pro notebook. I dried keyboard as best as I could and turned upside down to drain any excess liquid on keyboard. It worked again after an hour, but died after that and won't power up. It does charge, however. Suggestions?

The only way to assess such damage is to take it to an Apple store and have them examine it. The problem: liquids and electronics do not mix and corrosion is a definite possibility.
