i got a k750 and my little sister accidentally spilled lemonade all over it. the phone still works perfectly however... at the bottom left corner of my lcd screen... there is an obvious discoloration (the contrast is lighter) obviously as a result of the spill.
my question is... can it be removed w/o disassembling the phone if at all? thanks! |

Hi Kratos- I suggest you let Professionals handle it (a SE Service Point perhaps). Coz its not water that evapourates that went inside. Will have to be opened.

basically, yes 
Even if opened you cannot fix the LCD once its waterdamaged.
You can only change it to another LCD.
I still reccomend however that the phone get opened and cleaned as much as possible to avoid further damage. If you can find a repairshop that will do it.
sorry I dont have any better news. |

dgilmartin and numb hit the nail on the head.
SE troubleshooting flow diagrams recommend replacement of the whole unit the second any fluid penetration is evident, even if it's not the cause of any problem.
It sounds like the lcd and possibly the pcb is damaged. Disassembly and cleaning of components MAY fix it (unlikely) but will definitely prevent further damage if there is any lemonade residue still within the unit. If not cleaned the phone may die completely.
