Hi Guys,
Water went into my screen accidentally and I guess inside keyboard also. I saw a big watermark on my screen and I immediately kept my laptop inside the rice for 48 hours and I took it out yesterday. It was working fine but still I can see watermark on my laptop. Is there any way to remove the watermark from my screen?

Depends on the laptop model. Click the following link to search for a screen that is compatible with your laptop. In general, it would be $50 - $100 unless it is a premium screen like the "DreamColor" screen used in specific HP Elitebooks, those are several hundred dollars, then again those laptop cost at least $2,600.

This will void your warranty, though it think getting water in it already does, but search on google on how to take apart the screen on your specific laptop. Then just wipe off the water and reinstall everything. Bam your done.

Ok Thanks, I will check.



Do you have any idea about the cost of changing the display?

You'll need to contact a service center for an exact quote, but expect $300-$500 minimum. It only goes up from there.

Guys I am not sure that how long my laptop gonna work now. It is working fine now , but I am getting paranoid about the fact that water went under the keyboard and might damaged the circuits and I think my laptop wont run for too long. It is working fine BTW.
