***That incident was why in most cases I was dealing with something that’s mine (in which case, I always told them to shove it) I’d repair it myself especially seeing as most of it was old OOW hardware with easily interchanged parts. I sustained it by holding onto old "BER" devices that weren't worth repairing. New/new to me devices were based on the parts bin for years. Since then, I am firmly in the “beg for forgiveness” camp (if the circumstances and skillset match). This is what I base my answers on today.***[br]
***''Note: I don't bother with that in purchasing anymore as an adult; if I want a 2K or 4K panel on my new laptop (and my old one is FHD) I buy it that way.''***
If you can handle it, we need to know what the model number of the device is to get an idea of how much the parts you really need will cost - for example if the LCD bezel is mostly intact besides a few small splashes I would probably leave it be unless it was severely damaged or hide it with something like a semi matched nail polish or other paint. If it’s severely damaged, then you may want to replace it too.
If you can’t, make sure you discuss it in an environment where everyone will be mature about it and if you have to push back due to poor parental response... do so and BE PREPARED TO DEFEND YOURSELF. ***''If it devolves there (hope it doesn’t), stand your ground if need be. DO NOT APOLOGIZE for self-defense over an honest mistake and a poor reaction. It will vindicate the bad response! Things happen, and it was an accident learned the hard way.''***
Consider this a lesson about things like nail polish remover being particularly bad to keep around devices (unless you do not care if it gets ruined, like a really rough device on death's door anyway). I've kept things like that around my equipment, but I never leave it near a laptop for instance without a cap on.

In most cases I was dealing with something that’s mine (in which case, I always settled it with take a hike) or old OOW hardware, but the parts would interchange with relative ease. I sustained it by holding onto older devices that weren't easily repaired (or totaled out cost wise) that way if I needed a part I hopefully had it. I’m firmly in the “beg for forgiveness” camp if the circumstances match.*** Part of how I handle answers today is based on that principle if I can tell the OP can potentially handle it. ***''I don't bother with that in purchasing anymore as an adult; if I want a 4K panel on the replacement laptop and my old one is FHD, I’ll buy the 4K version.''***
If you can handle it, we need to know what the model number of the device is to get an idea how much the parts you really need will cost - for example if the LCD bezel is mostly intact besides a few small splashes then I would probably leave it be unless it was severely damaged. If it’s severely damaged, then you may want to replace it too.

Things happen, and what you did was a silly mistake but you sometimes have to learn the hard way sadly. Consider this a lesson about things like nail polish remover being particularly bad to keep around devices, unless you do not care or you can repair it yourself. I've kept it around my equipment but I never leave it near a laptop for instance… Or at least make sure I can get back up and running, or if it's on the retirement list decide what to do.
