Hey I need help, I am very dumb and spilled a little beer on my laptop Lenovo Y510P. Most of it got onto the keyboard which I immediately wiped off - and no problem- but some unfortunately got into the screen in the lower left corner.

The water mark as I would describe is in a cloud shape around the size of 4x4 centimeters but there are also some straight line marks which I believe water couldn't create such geometrically straight line naturally. These lines - there are 2 of them - go from the lower left corner and are approximately 3 and 5 centimeters long going in up-and-right direction.

I would really hate to replace the screen as I've seen that a new screen for the Lenovo Y510P costs about 1/3 fo my monthly paycheck (I'm a student).

The water marks are translucent and I can see everything on the screen behind the water spill so I was hoping there is still some hope for the screen.

The screen frame is glued to the base with adhesive which is why I was unwilling to take it apart for the screen to dry off, since I have no proper adhesive to reapply after such a procedure.

I was wondering whats the best way to go about it right now. Should i leave the laptop on a radiator over night? wrap it in some paper or whatever to get the water out. It's been approximately 30 minutes since I write this post when this has happened.

I look forward to any advice, thanks.

I would suggest just letting the laptop dry overnight, but it is probably best to set it on it's side with the laptop half open, like a book you could say.
You can put it near the radiator but I wouldn't put it on there.

Though the biggest problem will be that beer isn't like clear water and not everything will evaporate. But let's just hope for the best.

Kind regards
