My touchpad is not responding or working after water spill. Can it still work? Closed

Question

Hello, I have an Asus X555Q and i spilled a lot of water on the keyboard area.The screen turned off and i wasn't able to shut it down as the power key was not responding. I immediately put it upside down left it for a few hours and put it in plastic bag and vacuumed it. After a day and a half, i checked if it would work and the screen lit up and everything was still there but I couldn't move the mouse at all. I turned it off and left it for a bit. Is there anything I can do to fix it or should I go for repair?

firstly you got lucky that your laptop still worked! lol. For the touchpad, I think you need to first disable it using the shortcut key (Fn + usually F3 or F9 for Asus laptops) or using the Device Manager (type it in the windows search box). 

In the device manager, you need to click on the "Mice and other pointing devices" and then right-click on the item having 'touchpad' in the name. From the context menu, disable it. Once disabled, you can enable it using the same menu.

In most cases, it should work.
