Display water damage - how to fix?

Hi,

so as far as I know warranty is lost, so what happens if I will broke the device during disassemble? So I can't send it to Texas Instruments to repair it.

@waishon ,Waishon, If possible use the warranty hopefully they may be lenient , If not wanting to risk repair yourself by all means send back to manufacturer or their repair center for diagnoses, estimate and repair. Good luck.

Yeah I think if it's not helpful to put it into rice, I will send it back to the manufacturer, but I don't know if it might be cheaper to buy a new one :)

Also I've bought the TI from a school-reseller where our school buys a lot of TI, so they might be lenient and I've a 5 year warranty bought too. But doesn't it damage the TI if I wait until I send it to the manufacturer? Because of the corrusion?

Waishon, The best you you will do on the net. is probably $80 used good and maybe $150 new so I am not sure, what I would ((hope)) is that the factory would turn a blind eye(include accidental warranty) and send you one for free or at a discounted price. Nothing is for sure and yes normally the sooner liquid damage is adressed the better the odds of repair, what really harms them is when people leave battery in and keep trying to powering them up or charging as this can cause internal shorts and ruin logic board,displays,etc.,etc.. Just go with what best suits your present position(financially, how bad you need it,etc.) Good luck.

Hi,

I called the manufacturer and they said that they don't repair such thing, because it's not worth it.

So there're also no replacement LCD panels available. Is there a way to repair the LCD screen itself if there is water inclosed? How could the water go into the screen? The screen itself is working perfectly fine.
