Broken In
Hi,
I have an Acer TravelMate 3260 which is ~1 year old. Today I was cleaning the LCD screen using the solution I always use - it is some non-streaking cleaning solution from Gulf Oil. In the past it has never caused any damage to the laptop. Today, however, after cleaning the bottom left part of my screen is discolored and has weird patterns. Everything is properly displayed, only that ugly discoloration/pattern is there.

The above images were taken using my digital camera. They are not really clear, but the damage is visible.
I would request someone to advise me whether it is a permanent damage, or a temporary one? Will the discoloration go away by itself in a few days, or do I need to take the laptop to a service center? Will I need to get the complete screen replaced? Can I do anything at all to remedy the situation at home?
Thanks!
