Best way to clean an A1200 motherboard?
« on: November 17, 2010, 09:44:23 PM »
I'm planning to clean up the case of an A1200 I've just dug out the loft with some retrobite and was wondering what the best way to clean the motherboard would be? Can they be washed safely and if so, with what?


Thanks,

Robert

So window cleaner and a good rinse and dry is safe enough? I'm not overly anal about these things but as the machine is being stripped down I figured now is the time to clean it up.

Oh, and I got the LEDs working. No idea how, they just lept into life.

Reckon I'll stick with UPVC cleaner than muck around with that toxic stuff (does the same job anyway and a quite harmless to your lungs... :) )



Is UPVC cleaner abrasive? I'll maybe pop into B&Q and try some of that if it's not.
