    Everyone is probably like Wine? Yes, wine. It was placed in the corner of the couch because I thought where it was would cause an accident- instead the place I put it caused even more trouble.

    The mousemat and charger where placed on top of my laptop which obviously cause some protection, charger is fine so far. Everyone k own the classic alien on the front and the little grip by the charger port, I'm not sure if any has gotten I side of there because it seems fine but it has definitely gotten inside the alien head as I can see wine in the webcam.
    I don't know what to do honestly, it's a second hand laptop my dad got me for Christmas and I'm presuming it has no warranty on it. It's currently turned upside down like a /\ so any wine that got in can either go one way or another and u wouldn't want it to spread.

    This is either a stupid thing or not, I've plugged it in while skyrim is open still in the /\ position because I know it gets quite hot while playing games and I know the screen gets quite hot also which might dry it out. I don't want my dad to find out, he knows nothing of Alienware and refuses to help- Can anyone help?

    Not to sound brash, but why not invest into buying a new screen?

    Spend the $200 or so and buy a screen replacement.

    Not sure anyone on here can help with parts and labor out of warranty assistance :/

    New screen will solve this porblem as deeze has mentioned , while you are at it replacing the screen , go re-paste your CPU and GPU.
