Question:

Electrical Cleaner Fluid broke Ipod Screen?

I sprayed electrical cleaning fluid, which evaporates really fast, into my ipod touch's headphone jack, seeing as it was giving me problems having to adjust the tips of the audio equipment I hooked it up too, I should have used a q tip, and I sprayed it into the connector port as well. and my screen, well. Its kind of, weird, and I am kinda angry about it but then agian, its really cool lol Its like, making these 3d bubbles of darkness on the screen, it doesent go completely out, but it gets darker in some areas, and its really bright in the other If I have a pure white backround showing on my ipod, it looks like I am looking at a cloud. a horribly, vivid, cloud, for a screen Any suggestions or reasons why this might have happened? it looks like fluid got on something and somehow never dried, and is like, being displayed on the screen underneath it, but I Know I did not spray that much . I screwed up dident I Technically its still good to me though.

Answer:

your proberly using the contact cleaner that eats @ some plastics, you should have bought the good stuff lmao :), i was gunna buy some yesterday but it was like 23 bucks
Yeah, you kind of messed up. An electrical cleaner isn't necessarily meant for electronics, and especially not plastics. If you look at the can again, it could well have a caution on it about being careful around plastics. Even many electronic cleaners tell you to test it on a plastic case in some place it won't show before spraying. Whether the chemical ate the plastic or the thermal shock of the rapid evaporation caused the damage is hard to tell, but I'm guess the cleaner ate the plastic a bit.
