True I've had screens on smaller devices go very distorted for a few days after ipa was used elsewhere. They did actually clear and go back to normal mind you and I've never actually went near an actual screen with ipa intentionally.

I mean the soft screens of laptop monitors. IPA will destroy them.

I get it, ipa is good and fixes surprisingly a lot but only ever use it on boards, components and things like buttons and connectors. Keep it away from screens and batteries.

I've always done this honestly maybe I didn't explain well. It does do a miracle job on water damage if done early enough though.
