Circles on water damaged monitor?
I'm interested as to how this happened:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/elnf9fysu2...rcles.JPG?dl=0 Perfectly formed circles, after the monitor got wet (ok, my cat "scented" it, which I assume is salty water) - why the circles? I can't believe the "water" physically spread that evenly. And I'm unaware of any connection in an LCD monitor activating a circle - wouldn't I short out a horizontal band or something? |

I can find a few people selling the film to replace it, but I'm not sure how easy it is or if it's worth the bother. A couple of Youtube videos on changing one make it look like a work of art. It still seems strange I'm getting very accurate circles. Although they're gradually expanding, and not always exactly circular. One now looks like a pacman shape, and another has little scrape marks next to it. When I find out which cat did it, it's in big trouble. |

Very weird, especially how they are such perfect circles. You wouldn't think urine would even penetrate an LCD screen. Two of the three circles have centres on the bottom, next to the speaker holes under the screen. That's where it got in, at the edge. One circle though is centred 3/4s of an inch above the bottom - that one's really weird, surely if it ingressed on the bottom edge, it should span out from there, not higher up. But I guess the bottom line is you're hosed. It's a 19" 1280*1024 monitor - cheap low resolution rubbish, made by "Digimate" - I was given it free. The only thing it has going for it is it uses about 1/3rd of the power of my 1600*1200 19" Benq monitor. I guess it's an LED backlight, instead of a cold cathode. It's much cooler to the touch. |

It still seems strange I'm getting very accurate circles. Although they're gradually expanding, and not always exactly circular. One now looks like a pacman shape, and another has little scrape marks next to it. Likely just some quirk of the plastic that produces that unusual effect with ****. So you don't know then. When I find out which cat did it, it's in big trouble. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en...ondon-35363991 Good luck getting everyone registered. It's the dogs that get registered, stupid. |

Looks like you are not the first to have this problem: https://www.overclock.net/forum/44-m...r-problem.html Others mention similar cat problems. I like the advice "upgrade from a cat to a dog". Trouble is you have to walk them. Nope, plenty of them are happy to walk themselves. When I was building the house, one of the neighbours dogs used to have a regular circuit every single day, regular as clockwork, around the same route, sniffing and ****ing in the same places every day. Hilarious to watch. When I walked back to the place to pick up my car after getting a wheel alignment done, came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something very similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street verge, and going right down the driveway of some houses and bailing up the dog behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious. I find most cats are trainable. If you get angry enough, they eventually stop doing things. |

Dig out your polarized sunglasses and see if you learn anything. Might have damaged the front polarizer. I don't have sunglasses. Is the polarizer replaceable? I can find a few people selling the film to replace it, but I'm not sure how easy it is or if it's worth the bother. A couple of Youtube videos on changing one make it look like a work of art.

When I find out which cat did it, it's in big trouble. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en...ondon-35363991 I have a video camera I set up for such purposes. Stopped one ****ting in the shower that way. I currently have one of the neighbours cats that comes right into my house most days. Doesn't **** or **** in the house, just has a good hunt around for something to eat and now doesn't get anything because I make sure to put any food scraps left over from the evening meal into the bin before going to bed. Interesting to watch what it gets up to with my arlo movement sensitive cameras which have a strong magnet on the base so its easy to stick the cameras in various places with so much steel around the house. Unusually the bugger showed up during the day last week, managed to get between me and where it gets into the house and then panicked when it noticed me. Very healthy looking cat, its clearly not a cat that has been left behind when one of the renters in a neighbours house has moved out and left it behind. Shouting at it gets it to bugger off back the way it came in but that doesn't stop it coming back another day. Currently toying with the cat to see what works with that cat and what doesn't. |
