Liquid spill results in extremely dim screen, how to fix?

Liquid spill results in extremely dim screen, how to fix? Someone spilled tea on it and saw the screen short out. After using Windex to clean up the logic board almost everything works, memory, power, etc. except that the screen is so dim I need to use a flashlight to see it. Output to external monitor is just fine. Can this dim screen output be fixed?

OK, Your edit said that there is no inverter, I will either replace the display or get an HDMI cable and hook it up to a monitor. Thanks!

"i have the same issue? apple genius wanted a price for a new macbook ( mine is a mid 2013 macbook air). I got a new screen, switched it but it gave the same result. The guy at apple said they might need to change the logic board or tiny piece of it! I wonder if there is a tiny piece to change or is it the whole logic board.

I will order a new logic board and change it my self and will keep you posted!

if anyone else had this issue please let us know.

P.S. I can see everything and use the macbook normally when i shine a light source on it real close, like an iPhone flash!"
