[Thinkpad] t20 display backlights problem

hi all!

a few months ago someone put a drink on my t20, so the part between the
keyboard and the display hinge got wet, oops.

since then the display backlights stop working regularly, especially if
i keep the notebook closed and carry it around a longer time. while the
backlights start working again, they´re are flickering. seems like a
loose connection, but moving the notebook and/or the display doesn´t
seem to have an effect on this loose connection.

do you think the problem:
- is in the display part of the t20 itsself?
- is somewhere in the connection between computer & display?

what could i do/check to get more systematic diagnostics?

thx for any help on this.
