hi! water spilled on my closed laptop. it was barely damp and i dried it off immediately and let it sit out for around an hour to dry if there were wet spots i couldn't see. i turned it on and it worked normally for around 5 minutes. then it shut off. the power light signaling it was on would flash on and off, and the screen would flash white every 15 seconds or so. it did this for 2-3 minutes before shutting off completely. the cycle repeated twice before i turned it off fully and plugged it in to charge overnight. i turned it on today after it had been sitting and charging for around 24 hours and it booted up as usual. again, it worked normally for around 5 minutes and the same thing listed above happened. i have no idea what to do and have no experience disassembling laptops to get to the battery.
