Specifically laptops where the motherboard is under the keyboard where the coffee, beer and crumbs settle.
The washing up liquid thread made me visit this (the cheap Aldi stuff dilutes to about 1000 to 1).
I am familiar with washing audio mixers, guitar amps and so on and letting them dry in a clean environment to wash off the clicks, bangs and sizzles.
Has anyone done this with laptop motherboards? Are there components on there that don't like a good rinse? Those little tracks and wires seem awfully close, so will a good soaking help?
I have a machine with a dead mainboard. A light rinse with a soft brush produced brown water in the bowl, but I now need to try the stage 2 scrub routine, as it still doesn't work.
