Re: 5100 acer
The WD40 must have penetrated thru the LCD. I believe it is too strong a product and should not be used on LCDs. The problem is I do not know of any product that could wipe it out clean off the LCD and if ever there is one, I am not aware of the effects on the LCD either.
Most locking/latches I have encountered are plastic and are just sliding between two metal thin metal posts/rails. No rollers or bearings involved. So WD40 is an overkill I guess.

Re: 5100 acer
it fixed the latches, but the over spray was an accident. it was not my intention to shoot the screen, i actually had paper towels covering it. i believe it ran down from the top.
