My boyfriend sprayed our LED tv screen with Windex and now it is on the fritz?

Nona

It looks like the Windex dripped down into the bottom. On the left side of the screen there are a couple black vertical lines that are about one pixel wide, and then at the very left edge of the screen there is about an inch of black, along with a bright blue line (one pixel wide). At the bottom center of the screen there is a foggy patch where the picture is visible but slightly hazy looking, as if the liquid is stuck between two surfaces inside the tv. Otherwise the picture is fine. This happened Sunday afternoon (today). We turned the tv on to check it a couple hours ago, and ONE of the black lines disappeared, but we have had it off and unplugged otherwise.

Is there any hope?? (When I dropped my IPod in water a similar thing happened and it ultimately went back to normal.) How long should we leave it off? Is there anything we can do in the meantime to fix it?

Please only answer if you really know.

And yes, I know, NEVER use Windex on a flat screen. Check.

The trick in Grumpy's answer might work--if it does, you'll be among the lucky few. Windex is normally death to an LCD panel, which is the screen on your "LED" TV.

Regrettably, there is no practical repair for a damaged LCD panel. The cost is about the same as a new set, so hardly anyone does it. You at least need a new TV, and possibly a smarter boyfriend.

My V1210 plasma tv has a vertical, narrow red line going down the center of the screen...help?!?

The warranty expired four months ago.Any help to fix it will be much appreciated!

Answer
getting that fixed will be a lot of money, not a worthwhile amount either

I know you don't like the sound of it buy you are probably going to end up having to buy a new tv. get an LCD this time, or if you have a good amount of spending money, go with the newer LED tv's

plasmas have many problems while lcd's don't so if you want something reliable then go LCD or LED. LED is still technically LCD by the way, its just that they've enhanced the contrast so that the LED tv's now look nicer in color and contrast than the LCD's do. but they're about 200 dollars more than the comparable lcd
