It lives!

24h in an airing cupboard, 24h sealed in a bin liner with a tray of 
silica crystals. The keyboard works perfectly, although the touchpad 
button sticks a little. It boots to the desktop properly, no problems. 
The screen is still a bit munged, but I think the effect has shrunk 
slightly, so I'm going to keep drying it when not in use. The pixels all 
fire ok, it's just a smudge of brightness variation... looks really weird!

I've invested in an external drive to back up my system properly just in 
case the HD throws in the towel at a later date (which I was meaning to 
do anyway, so not really an unexpected cost).

Thanks for the sounding board, everybode :)
