Is my Chromebook still saveable?

Hello! Thank you for reading this!
Yesterday morning, I accidentally spilled some tea all over my Chromebook. By all over, I mean all on the bottom half ( keyboard, mousepad ). The tea had soaked down into the computer in mere seconds, but I still tried to shake out as much liquid as I could . . . which was unfortunately a lot. I dried as much of the outside as I possibly could before deciding to close the laptop plug it in to charge. 
Flash forward to around 4 hours later: I opened up the laptop to see a copy of the keyboard made of condensation stuck on the screen. This would happen every single time I opened up my computer after a little while of not using it. Though there was a concerning delay, the computer eventually booted up and was working fine with the exception of my tabs in chrome repeatedly going back to the previous webpage and none of my additional apps being able to open. 
Unfortunately, this is not a story with a happy ending. 
After starting back up, my laptop was extremely laggy. At first, it would just randomly black out. The more I used it, however, the worse it 
After an hour or so of using it, my computer screen started flashing out of nowhere. Confused, I just closed the laptop, hoping that the glitch would disappear if I had waited a few minutes before opening it again. I was wrong. Every time I would open the laptop, the screen would flash until it eventually turned off. By this time, I had decided to just leave my laptop open as to let the moisture escape instead of having it condense on the screen. 
After a few hours of my screen being blacked out, my computer suddenly turned on. Not in a good way, though. Right when my hopes had finally lifted, my screen started flashing yet again. This time, however, the flashing got slower and slower until it went black . . . only to turn back on and flash full red, blue, green, and white screens a few times before going black. From then on, my laptop ( if open ) would randomly turn on and cycle through those coloured screens before shutting off again. Not only that, but twice I recall the little light that would be either orange or blue being PURPLE! Both colours were probably displayed at the same time — so explainable, but concerning nonetheless. Please help???
