So this is for a new protector your putting on or is this for one that you already have on?

if it's a brand new one. the method above shouldn't be necessary as it's already perfectly clean and sterile (like a band aid).

If after placing it on you notice there are air bubbles or that something accidentally got under the screen (dust, etc) you can do the above to clean it.

Or you can do what I do and clean it every so often using the above method.

Well I just did this, and somehow some alcohol got inside of the lcd. The phone works fine but the touch screen is completely unresponsive. I can see it moving around in there as it dries. Hopefully It will dry up and I can use it again.

I do not recommend doing this. I'm kicking myself. My phone isnt even a week old yet.

Can't you just take out the screen protector, and dry it up ?

Nono..

its inside the screen itself. Not the screen protector. There's no screen protector on right now.

No. I did exactly what OP said to do. Soaked the screen protector in alcohol.. shook it off, and put it on the phone. I noticed the screen turning blacker in some parts until it got the way you see it now. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if it dries up, but for right now, the touch screen doesn't do a damn thing.

So what happened? Did it dry out? or is it screwed?

Sorry to see what happened to you. I assumed he meant air dry. I thought the alcohol was so it would dry faster so you didn't have to wait ages to put it back on. I didn't think the OP meant to put it on while the alcohol was still on the protector.
