The product I have used for cleaning is a spray suitable for TFT display, but I was told it is fine also for notebooks (there's also a notebook picture on the bottle).
The LCD on your PowerBook IS a TFT. TFT is a type of LCD technology. TFT = LCD (although its not always the other way around).
That being said, I think you should contact the company.
What have I done there? Perhaps some drops have penetrated somehow in the machine?
Perhaps too much? Were there instructions on the bottle?
NEVER SPRAY THE MACHINE!!!!! Always lightly spray the cloth, THEN wipe the machine. I've been cleaning PowerBook displays with Windex since my mom had a brand new just released PowerBook 165c in this manner, and have never had a problem ever. Eleven PowerBooks and PC notebooks later, I've still yet to run into trouble with my Windex solution.
Or have I damaged the LCD for good? Any hope to recover this beast, or idea of what to look at? I never had any display issues in the past on this machine.
Do this: Remove power adapter and batteries and everything. Let the machine sit for a day or two, preferably on its side (open it to form an "L" shape so that it can balance itself). Hopefully it will dry away leaving the electronics unfried.
