Water cleaning is an industrial process during the making of !!!
They are all dry now. Take off all batery.
Maybe the internal be with you  ;-)

So now, buy quickly some true electronic contact spray cleaner (better the one that content a bit of oil) and spray them.

Use a teebrush full of spray for each socket and chip, and around each component to take off any paper particule.
If you also got an air-pulser use it !

Let it dry 1 day, and restart the operation 2 more times.

About the floppy drivers, you can spray them (mainly the 2 motors make them turn smoothly with your fingers !!) but not the head with a spray that content oil. Use a "dry" contact spray cleaner with a smooth coton or isopropil alcool.

About the monitors it's about the same but :
don't spray on the tube, it content "grafite" that is needed ! You may need to buy a "grafite/carbonate" spray.
Be gentle when you'll clean/brush the brown/orange wires at the end of the tube.
Change the thermal paste that were use.

About the books, curve them a bit and use an airdryer while opening little by little the book.
Sometime 1 / 2 s in a microwave can be good for books.

About the floppy  :roll:  push the metal shield and watch if there is some particle on them.

As you can read lot of things can be rescued if you are patient and strong
Keep the Faith !
