    Hi all,

    Dad split a glass of wine on his laptop last year completely destroyed stupid fecker tried to dry it of with a hair dryer and turned it on straight away. Just happened he had it out other tonight so i said ill plug it and see what happens it worked well for about 10mins and the screen went all fuzzy so tried a second monitor in it to see was it the screen was running for about an hour everything perfect so i noticed on the laptop screen while the second monitor was plugged in that the resolution was lower than normal unplugged the second monitor fixed the resolution and bang the screen went fuzzy again. So done the same again plugged in the second monitor and changed the resolution on the laptop screen to a lower setting working perfect now. What would cause this checked the bios and everything seems to be working perfect just when I change the resolution. confused.gif

    It would depend on where he spilled the wine.

    But, because the Resolution had no problems on the second monitor, You could replace the Inverter Board, and see if that makes any difference. If the wine got into that, it may be causing the problems you are seeing.

    Inverter boards on eBay

    I just linked to all of them there, as i don't know your make/model..

    Just testing it again when I put the second monitor at full resolution it does go fuzzy, looks like hes in a need of a new laptop me thinks.
