'Stubborn' LCD Phillips Monitor with Water Damage

[ComputerFiddler]

Hallo, Computer People!

I have recently found a Phillips LCD monitor (Product Number: PHP-X19W) on the side of the road with water inside the screen. That seems to be the only problem at the moment; it works fine except there is water in the screen. I looked on the Internet and it suggested I use a hair dryer. Well, since I dont have one, I used a conventional heater in substitution. I left the monitor overnight, but when I checked it this morning, it had all condensated. I dryed it for two to three hours, but now there is 'fog' on the inside of the screen.
What i want to know is; Is there a way to get water out if I can't use heaters?

Help would be much appreciated!
Best Regards,

Fiddler

Electronics + Water .... What do you think?

You could keep it in a gigantic trashbag of rice for a while.

The monitor is probably worth less than the rice though.

I saw a couch on the side of the road once, it had a lot of stains and something that looked like sweet and sour sauce in several places.

I didn't take it home..

I don't think trying to mend this monitor is worth your while I'm afraid.

I'd say the same. Prehaps I should just throw it out and use the OTHER monitor that I found next to it that ISN'T damaged. Trouble is; I dont have the power cord for it.

Electronics + Water ... What do you think?

I think:Electronics+Water-Electricity÷Drying=FUNCTIONAL
Electronics+Water+Electricity×Water Damage=BOOM!

I like the boom method, plus, I dont give a damn if it breaks. I didnt pay for it, did I?
Or did I....,?
Nope, I didnt.

Does the other monitor use a proprietary power cable?

Most monitors just use the same power cable that your PC uses.

A lot of monitors these days are going to the same power scheme as laptops and using laptop power adapters. The Acer monitor I use for all my troubleshooting systems does.

Yeah the LG monitor I bought for my brother a few years ago does too but not all new monitors do. I find it kind of annoying personally.

Eh, depends on the model. On super thin displays you kind of have to externalize the power supply to make the unit more compact.

Can you cite your sources? I cant find anything about this theorem in my discrete mathematics book.

Being serious. Don't bother. It is a fire hazard. Unless you enjoy that sort of thing.
