I turned it off immediatly. 5 mins later I turned it back on cause I didn’t think anything got into it. It popped… That’s why I think I’m screwed

i suggest you buy cheap laptops…and expensive champagne in your case … no one ever wants to waste an expensive drink…but seriously good luck

if it popped, you are wasting your time attempting to salvage it.

Yes you are screwed. Turning it back on was a dumb move.  
There is not much you can do other then give it to someone who is willing to work on it. Mainboard is like $150+ then time into it, hope you replace the right part, ect… buy another one.
