I ordered this one now: https://www.weicon.de/en/electro-contact-cleaner-cleaner-for...

Judging from the product pictures, it seems to be safe to use on the entire board. Will let you know what happened :)

Yes, that one is (from its specs sheet) only a mix of (volatile) solvents, it should not leave any residues after evaporation.

Monitor is working again. I could remove most of the gunk with the weicon cleaner, Q tip and an old toothbrush. There's still some white non-sticky residue left in some places, but it seems to be harmless.

The panel was damaged by the impact, but it's not too bad. Whew!
