germs attacking Oktagon!

How do I clean this thing:

I've tried isopropyl but maybe that was the cause!

From what I can see in the picture, to me, It looks like flux residue left over from letting the Isopropal dry on the board.

I would try the isopropyl again only this time mix it with some distilled water (maybe a 50-50 mix). When you are donew scrubbing then wipe it all up with a lint free cloth or blow it off the board with an air hose and nozzle.

Good Luck,

You should see the top of my DCE SCSI-IV kit!

They thought it was a good idea to glue some cardboard to it with some
sort of fish paste and it's melted everywhere.

The thing gives a dodgy connection due to seriously tarnished contacts
and has capacitors in the wrong places (like right in the place a SIMM
would go).

Some alledgedly pure alcohol from cheap computer cleaning kits leaves
a nasty smear on some surfaces so it might be worth trying a Q-tip
moistened with warm water.

I've also been told by other members that fibreglass pencils are
available to rub up contacts to gleam!

Your problem could be exaggerated if the card doesn't get enough
ventilation as extreme heat I've noticed can make impurities frost up.
