So this happened yesterday. It was just a weird rectangular block of lighter colours. Now its turned black and white and hard to make anything out. A was drinking and laughed and got water all over the screen. Wiped it up quite rapidly. But then like an hour or so later the lines popped up. I hope its not related. What do I do?

How much am I looking at?

Shut it down it creates mustard gas

Depends, but probably 50 or less
Find out the model of panel and look it up in ebay

INSTALL GENTOO
2014 HP Omen here
1080p Samsung-made LCD panel costs around $80 looking around the net, but found an Amazon Prime exclusive for $50
Get Prime if you use Amazon at all. Well fucking worth it.

I'll look around now. Glad I don't have to pay out my ass
Hey should I open up the laptop? Cause if its water damage won't I find evidence inside?

after drying it still works
So if opened it up and I can see it was clearly what ever I was drinking that messed it up. I know this might sound stupid but the lines wouldn't be caused by one of the wires being compromised by the drink? I know wires and circuits are different but I just don't wanna waste money on a replacement screen only to have it work funky too. I'm not inna situation as of now where I can throw money

I'm very delicate its not the first time I've sprayed all over the screen. Its just this time my mouth was full
