Water got in my calculator, and now the screen is glitching out. What should i do?
Remove the battery immediately! Never power on a water damaged device. With any luck, the damage is only temporary.

Remove the motherboard from the calculator: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/TI-84+Plus+CE+Teardown/118886
Make sure to remove the lcd too.

You can follow this guide for cleaning the circuit board. Don't submerge the lcd in anything or you might destroy it. https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Electronics_Water_Damage#Section_Cleaning_Circuit_Boards

Thank you! I will fix it today!

I opened it up, removed the water and then I applied the rubbing alcohol, is there anything i need to do to the screen itself? it's just a white blank screen with nothing on it.
Just let the lcd dry out. I don't know if cleaning supplies will degrade the ribbon cable. If there's water inside the lcd then the only feasible solution is to replace it.

Ok, thank you! I'll update everyone tommrow after I let it dry!
