Curiously, Mr Sheen is the stuff I use for all the archaic hardware I come across, inside and out. Cases, panels, inside plastic bits and motherboards, they all get a Mr Sheening.
I started doing this when I came across a machine with a motherboard that had mice nesting on top of it, and corrosion from their peeing all over it. After a run through with dishwashing liquid and a huge rinse, thankfully with no tracks completely eaten through, I coated the whole thing with Mr Sheen and left it to dry completely. It's still working...
...as are the other 42 computers I've done that to.
A clean motherboard is a happy motherboard!
Really?? You wash motherboards with soap and water? Do you heat them to dry them? How long do you wait to make sure there aren't any little droplets shorting any leads? How do you make sure no soap or residue shorts leads? I'm just curious. Personally, I've always kind of left dusty motherboards alone, as blowing the dust around usually isn't the best solution (unless there are dangerous amounts built up!), and dry brushing can cause static...
And where could an American find this wonderful Mr. Sheen? (And I don't mean Charlie! :-P )
