Acer F20 Monitor Problem

Acer F20 Monitor Highlighted Areas
I have a problem with my Acer F20 monitor, the lcd panel looks like the liquid crystals are leaking. One morning I switched it on and it looked like blue paint runs from the top of the screen. Later, after it warmed up, these runs became less visible, but I can still see a shadow of them if I set a light grey background. Any idea of what could be wrong? PC Tips and Tricks Answers:Hi Robert, Oh dear, doesn't sound too good Robert. That's a nice screen you have there - the Ferrari red 20" LCD I believe :) Sounds very much like your monitor screen could be cracked or broken with the liquid crystals bleeding or leaking out behind the glass. Could it have been dropped or maybe someone dropped something on it causing a crack in the screen just above the screen edging fascia. Without actually seeing it it's difficult to tell. However, the fact that it disappears as the screen warms up makes me wonder whether it couldn't simply be condensation? Sometimes moisture can get trapped within the screen. Has it been near water? Could someone have spilt water over it? Has it been in the sun and then cooled in an air con environment or vice versa? Perhaps someone has been sat with a hot steaming coffee near to the screen that could have caused condensation to enter and become trapped? Could water have entered via a cable connection? I seem to think this model has a TV tuner input? The fact that the color is blue is rather interesting. Maybe you could send us a picture - as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words :) All the best Colin - PC Tips and Tricks
