I work in computer repair for a university, and we see students coming in all the time with liquid spills.
We usually:
1) Disassemble the computer (ifixit.com is your friend here)
2) Clean the board with a non-conductive cleaner such as Electro Klene (http://www.criticalcleaning.com/CCContact.htm)
3) Dry it off using compressed air and then let it air dry for a bit
4) Reassemble and cross fingers.

We find this works about 1/2 the time.
