I have a cousin who came over from Poland with her laptop. During travel she spilled a drink on the laptop and now the LCD screen is dim when it turns on. Screen is very very dim but you can still somewhat see something if you squint your eyes.

I strongly suspect that the inverter is damaged and needs to be replaced. But it is possible that other things may need to be fixed too. Also is there a way to perhaps clean the insides of the laptop from the drink to stop any corrosion?

This laptop is running Windows Vista btw.

In addition the wireless internet function no longer works. Well it stopped working when she left the country. Any reason for this?

Thanks for any help.
