WD-40 is a water displacer by name and function, but it leaves a greasy film which attracts other contaminates, and I believe it also conducts. My understanding is that you should never use WD-40 on electronic equipment, with the exception of moving parts like drive mechanisms, and even then you should use a lithium grease. This was well-known back the in BBS days, and I assume that similar mentions are on the Internet or in news groups.
I agree. I'd blast them off with some contact cleaner (possibly removing Agnus - I could see water getting trapped underneath), maybe a little compressed air and let dry. Iso in lieu of contact cleaner. There is no way I'd hit a motherboard with WD-40.
