The Story: Last night, I spilled a glass of water upon my desk. None of it touched the LCD screen, but it went beneath the stand. It was picked up, cleaned, and the computer was used for a couple of hours with no display issues or anything of the sort. It was then turned off for the night.
This afternoon, I arrived home and turned on my computer. Immediately, I noticed two small half-circles of white/seemingly-stuck pixels on the bottom half of the screen. After about ten minutes of use, the left side of the screen suddenly attained a goodly-sized of dark and multi-colored pixels. I can...'move' these up and down if I gently touch or press against them, strangely.
I don't believe any water had touched the screen, which is why I find this odd. Especially the pixels on the left side, because some of them are as far as a foot off of the desk, and on the opposite side of where I keep my glasses, where there should be /no/ way water could have touched it regardless. As well, they didn't exist for the first ten minutes of usage today, and seemed to 'suddenly' appear, for I only noticed them a ways into working.
Nonetheless, I fear I might have no recourse but to get a new monitor...yet felt I might as well ask here to see if anyone might have any suggestions as to what is up or how to fix it.
Edit: Ah-ha! Something to make note of. I recall that, upon turning my computer on for the first time this afternoon, some beeping seemed to be coming from somewhere. Assuming it was an issue with the new fan/heatsink I installed, I swiftly turned the PC off and checked it...but it seemed fine. Upon turning it on again, the beeping did not occur. I believe the beeping was coming from the monitor, not the PC! It wasn't a steady sound at all, but a seemingly random, high-pitched noise..
As well, the LCD in question is a BenQ G2400WD.
