What part of my display got damaged?
Hey guys,
I spilled coffee over my 2015 MacBook Air last summer. Apple told me everything was messed up, but after disassembly I cleaned everything with alcohol and got it back to running. However, I did not remove the display when I cleaned (soaked in alcohol) the keyboard. Stupid me... The display must have gotten in contact with the liquid and now it looks like this.
What is it that I need to exchange for the display to be normal again and where do I get it? Is it the lcd?
Apple resellers won't sell parts to me and won't repair it, since I opened it myself and lost warranty - which I lost due to the water damage anyhow...
Thank you guys so much and regards from Germany!

Sorry, maybe I should have described what I meant in more detail. On that picture it should be clearer though:
I am talking about both in the left and the right corner. There is more brightness and you see "blurry" changes in color intensities. You can definitely see a line that goes from e.g. the right third of the bottom of the screen in a quarter circle to the middle of the right part of the screen. It's similar on the left.
So I think something with the background light is wrong. Or is it the entire LCD? I don't know too much about displays, my apologies.
The entire computer is still usable. Also the display works fine, it's just quite annoying and I want to know if I can fix it somehow.
Thanks!

What is the problem? Is your home screen background supposed to look like that? Are you talking about in the lower right corner where that mark is or those two white lights at the bottom?
