Water spills are almost always fatal for laptops. Try this. Pull the battery out. Wrap the laptop in paper towels,put the laptop in a bag of White rice for 24 hours. Then plug the laptop in without the battery and see if the light is on the ac adapter. Turn the laptop on and check the light again. If it doesn't work you will need to replace the keyboard and motherboard. This is usually not worth doing on older laptops.

HP 6735s will not boot.

Remove the battery, place the laptop in a warm, dry and sunny spot for several days so it dries out completely. Replace the battery and see if the laptop boots up.
If not then the laptop maybe beyond repair, especially when water was spilt on the laptop when it was running. This could have caused some electronic components to short out.

Water spill on keyboard

Remove the battery immediately,remove the water and place the laptop in a warm dry place for a day or so until it is completely dry.
When you replace the battery and boot up the laptop, hopefully no damage is done.

The stick shift has a coke spill and it is a little hard to shift since, How to I open the shift box

since you or someone spilled soda pop on your shifter you could lift the boot cover and unscrew the boot.to gain access to this area. however this could be a real pain in the !!! what i would try first is to get a solution of hot soapy water and pour it slowwly or repeatedly down the shifter hole to wash out the soda pop. this all goes right out onto the ground.

Toshiba satellite a30

If you spilled water all over your laptop and its loading but not displaying you have damaged at least the inverter board and probably more. If it is booting up and you think it is ok except no display, you can verify this by attaching an external monitor and see how if at all the laptop is performing

Accidental Coverage

This is an issue you will have to take up with the company that you purchased your warranty from. Policies vary, and I would have no way of knowing any of this without seeing your policy. However, I can tell you from experience that most warranties will only cover hardware malfunction and not user caused damaged. Don't be surprised if they deny your warranty because spilling water into it isn't covered.
