Evening,

Lappy was looking a tad grubby so decided to give it a once over, all was going well until I powered it back up and now have what appears to be water in my screen, the cloth I used was lint free and damp, there's now a diagonal line approx 5mm by 25 mm. having had a quick google I'm seeing suggestions that it should evaporate out and fade away after a period of time.

Has anyone else suffered from this and can they confirm it's a temporary blemish ?

cheers

ive always used rice,yes rice,cover the whole laptop in cheapo supermarket rice and it attracts the moisture ,ive tried it on several mobile phones with large screens and its worked a treat

That happened to me a few years ago, What made it was is that I was cleaning it because I had sold it. The water dried behind the screen and permanently marked the screen.

I never took a photo of this but shoold have done really: mums ld 17" acer laptop, a thunderbug (little black bug) had crawled into the screen, about 3 inches diagonally in from the corner, not behind some plastic but into the tft panel, had the screen off to see if it was inbetween the screen and a sheet of glass perhaps, but those that know laptops know, the screen is just one piece, are had a bug in, kept working fine after!
