Rice is not a magical product that saves water damaged electronics. Stories of failure far outnumber the successes. Depending on what's been damaged, you could simply replace the part, but at some point it becomes cheaper to just replace the entire laptop.

You will need to take it apart and clean out the "Sticky" from buttons, ribbon cable connections and motherboard in general. Not a fun process and takes about a hour then partially reassemble and do a power on test. It is very possible not permanent damage was done.
