I spilled diet soda on my flat screen tv and now the colors are totally different. Can I use a fan to dry it out?

MOST, electronics should work properly after being wet.. as long as:

1.it was not / does not get turned on well it is wet.
2.it is only water that was spilled on it (NO- soda, milk, juice)

your best bet is to let it fully dry for a week or so, not in direct sunlight, and make sure there is no power running to it.

Splenda has been added to a new type of Diet Coke product in 2005 called Diet Coke Splenda. Pepsico. uses Splenda as well in its Pepsi One product. Mountain Dew contains Splenda as well. Other products that use Splenda include Dr. Hansen's Diet Sodas and all Dr. Rite soft drinks.

Turn it off for a day or so and let it dry out, it may never work again, however, because you did spill soda on it...

That actually happened to a tv of mine once-i had some clear diet soda get spilled on front, I didn't clean it out(just off of screen) and I corroded the contacts on the lcd itself. if it is a recent problem get it cleaned/clean it yourself as soon as possible to prevent damage to screens connections. hope this was helpful, good luck.

If you are sure its not a stain. then its a dead pixel on your monitor.. sooner or later it will spread out. To be sure if its a dead pixel, run your monitor in different colors, black screen, green, red and blue.. If the spots stays then its dead pixel.. You will be replacing the lcd when time comes that it spreads out.

Reasonably well, actually. If the soda was DIET, you're in fairly good shape, as sugar complicates the process. Either way, you'll need to disassemble the unit... carefully!... so as to expose the inner circuitry. Be careful not to break any wires; things in there can be quite delicate.

Once inside, disconnect battery!

If there's sugary soda inside, gently and thoroughly rinse under a lukewarm faucet. This will NOT hurt the electronics any more than they're already hurting, and is absolutely necessary if you have any hope whatsoever of repairing this.

If there's diet soda inside the device, I recommend the same, though it's not quite as critical.

After thoroughtly rinsing and and all soda from the device, gently shake the excess water into the sink as best you can, then position the devie in front of a fan for an overnight drying session. Be sure to allow ample time to make absolutely certain that all water has been evaporated away by the blowing air. DO NOT USE A HAIR DRYER AT ANY TIME !!!!

Once dry, re-assemble and pray for the best! Caution! Be sure you've given the fan ample time to dry the device completely! Err on the side of caution by leaving it there longer than you think you need to !

• put the tv off
• remove the plug
• remove soda from tv
• let it dry for few days
• put on
• it is my experience it will come on.
• hope this will help.

Death by Diet Coke I like it But very true I am afraid - there is no cure Next camera time
