I did not even know that is was possible to damage a LCD magnetically, what are the symptoms since ti could very well be a different type of damage. Cause really I can only imagine something physically broken or stressed to result the a "gee this needs to be degaussed" image on a LCD.

In a normal world, an LCD cannot be affected in any way by magnetic fields (and, of course, has no need for degaussing), and is unlikely to sustain any damage of any kind from a magnet - unless you drop the magnet on the screen and get physical damage the same as any hard object dropped on the screen.

That said, can you describe the effect on the screen? Maybe it's actually cracked?
