methyl ethyl sprits and lcd = fuhget about it. that spoils lcds and plastic. nvr ever use that on computer equipment/tvs or plastics.

u are safe using 50-50 isopropyl and pure distilled water

but its an Hp Laptop.....

How old? If it almost a year old...no worries cause you will have to replace the whole laptop anyway.......cause its HP...........

I know I will get some bashing there but my friends have HP and their motherboards gave up just after a year...as soon as the warranty period finish........

my laptop is like almost 3 yrs old....no over heating problems what so ever...all i did was as soon as it was bought remove the stock 120Gb HDD and memory and install a 250Gb HDD and install a 2Gb memory...

it's still the same way....pics to come....soon...any other suggestions on what to do..?

Nothing you can do. The spirits removed the coatings on the LCD screen and it's now permanently screwed.

Happened to a monitor of mine ages ago.

Have to change the screen, it isn't going to get better or 'come off'.

dont power up laptop

happened to my cuz laptop some months ago, but in his case his son threw half bottle of methylated on screen and keyboard, i just removed screen & motherboard and placed in sun for about 2 hrs.... back to normal after.

don't leave to dry up on own cause this could cause moisture to remain on lcd, although it may seem dry there will still be moisture

start scrapping the screen. remember the order that you took out the filters and cloth dry everything.....blowdry the lights at the top and bottom of the screen..

as for whatever little damage to the outer surface.. there is nothing much you can do..but that pic telling me that you manage to get some inside the laptop
