    I'm sorry. If the keyboard and trackpad are absolutely not working (as opposed to a couple keys sticking) I don't think there is a whole lot that you can do besides replacing the affected components. Next time it happens make sure you turn off your computer immediately and remove your battery. Then you can proceed in your cleaning/drying. You can actually rinse the keyboard off to keep the keys from sticking.
