Title:

The LCD screen has no backlight and no image

Text:

A few days ago, I spilled some water right onto the front panel of my switch. I let it dry for a few days and tried to turn it on, and assumed the worst when I didn't see anything on the screen. However, I found out that the console functions perfectly while docked, which leads me to believe the water only damaged the LCD screen. I just want to make sure I'm correct in assuming this before I pull the trigger and buy a replacement LCD. Could there be something else that's causing the issue I'm having?
