Did Los Angeles rain kill my laptop?

I woke up this morning and realized that my backpack honestly did not protect the interior contents, including my laptop, against the rain properly from the night before. I am writing this from my laptop. When I opened my laptop, I found that there was water inside the fold of the laptop, and now I'm worried that some of the water has gotten into the keyboard. So I am freewriting because I think there's something a little bit off about my keyboard, namely that it's a little bit "sticky" / "laggy" when I push the space bar. Ugh.

This isn't the first time I've gotten water on a laptop I owned. In 2012 I think I spilled my water bottle all over the keyboard and completely wrecked my laptop to where it wouldn't turn on anymore. It wasn't fun. Fortunately, the Apple store fixed it for $150, but still. Horrifying.

Oh god. Not sure how this is all going to fare.

P.S. as a memento the rain is really bad in Los Angeles right now for some reason. Kind of a fluke. Could be climate change.


Update 02/11/2023: It did NOT end up killing my laptop! It's in perfectly good health
