Destroying an LCD Screen

I had this old P2 laptop someone gave me. It was awful so I figured I'd put an overly powerful magnet to its HDD (while defragmenting) and destroy its screen while it was still on.
I have 3 clips of the screen being wrecked but this is the most interesting one. Surprisingly the liquid doesn't spill out when the screen is cracked.

That wasn't a magnet, that was his finger.

i used a magnet to the hard drive, which you can't see in this video. putting a magnet to an lcd screen doesn't really do anything, but poking it with my finger had some interesting effects

might not have a screen but at least your computer will be defragged

Liquid wont spill out. Theres like 0.1mm think liquid that has the consistency of gel.

@schmidtbag HDDs are not effected by big magnets unless you dismantle them and rub the platters with the magnets.
