    Hi folks.

    Water got in to my laptop screen. It's working fine and I very rearly use this screen as I have it plugged in to a larger screen. Do you think it's safe enough to use as it is or should I get it fixed? Would it lead to problems down the road?
    Photo attached.
    cheers

    Take it apart and dry it, it's usually just a bunch of screws around the screen, you should see them around the edges, probably little black stickers over them, never a good idea to have power running through anything with water in it, i'd clean it straight away, it's simple enough no need to remove the screen probably just the front screen.

    You could try and stick into the hot press over night and see how you get on

    Thanks lads. It's almost as good as new again. Dried up well. I took the front panel from the screen.
