Hi I have a Asus x551m laptop it is less than 2 months old but unfortunately the dog has knocked a glass of wine over it. I know the screen is scrap as no display whatsoever . I have removed the keyboard and there does not seem to be any damage under it . but is there any way it can be checked for other damage before i spend out for a new screen !


I am too old for this lark !!!

Plug it in to an external monitor and it should give you some idea .you could try cleaning the motherboard before shelling out any money

I think Mark is into PC and laptop repairs?

But you are still going to want to strip to clean the mainboard. Not only will the sticky residue attract dust, it can also cause corrosion to exposed circuitry (e.g. solder points).
