Proper Way To Clean a LCD

TL;DW, whatever you clean with, DO NOT EVER APPLY ANY LIQUID DIRECTLY TO A SCREEN! The liquid will seep in and capillary action will pull it between all the air gapped layers inside the LCD. Because the layers internally are so close together, the only way to remove the liquid will be to disassemble the screen and separate the layers. 

If the diffusion panels need any cleaning aside from just allowing evaporation, there is a good chance they will be or have already been ruined and will need to be replaced. Evaporation will eventually get the liquid out but this process may take years and may still leave stains. 

This applies to any LCD from Game Boys to TVs to tablets, whatever. 

The day I recorded this and started uploading, I saw another post on r/gameboy of someone with a ruined LCD. Go figure.
