How to wash the motherboard?

Question

Iron

Good afternoon

There is a motherboard (memory, processor and battery removed).
The board is good, but very dusty. How to wash and dry it properly?
How? If water, is it possible? Does it make sense to rinse it with vodka or alcohol after washing?
With alcohol of complexity - it is problematic to buy. Vodka is easy to buy.

Answer 1

Correctly and in the best way:

Answer 2

I even washed the CRT monitor. By immersion.
Dried out in a couple of weeks, nothing.

Answer 3

Why don't you use Magic Bubble ?

Answer 4

This is quite a risky undertaking.
Vacuum cleaner + brush - a good, proven way.

Answer 5

Why wash it? Just vacuum a little. In general, you either do not have proper ventilation, or you need to clean more often.

Answer 6

You can wash with water. It is only necessary to take into account a few nuances: do not keep it in water for a long time (a couple of minutes is enough to remove dirt from everywhere) so as not to start soaking; you can use a brush, but I prefer a toothbrush, she has to go through all the nooks and crannies and clean out the dirt from there; after washing, first remove the water with a towel or napkins, then it is best to blow off the remaining water with compressed air (either with a special compressor as in the picture above, or with a can, but be careful with it, they like to spit), if there is no compressor and there is no air enema, then dry it with a hairdryer and blow the change with your own lungs.

Answer 7

Take wet wipes for office equipment (you can also use ordinary ones for hands or face), a brush (you can find it in perestroika), a vacuum cleaner (available in Eldorado) and a compressed air bottle (sold in computer stores).
First, vacuum everything you can, helping yourself with a brush. Then wipe everything down with paper towels. It remains to blow out hard-to-reach places and it is possible to repeat everything from the beginning.

Answer 8

You need to wash with alcohol on the edge with vodka, if with water, then at least distilled. The water is conductive and is unlikely to clean the flux.

Answer 9

Antistatic brush.
Use blow compressor.
And cotton wool with alcohol. Alcohol is bought at a pharmacy .

Answer 10

The drowned then do not live long. They are less reliable. Contacts may oxidize. I don't see the point in this. The best thing is a compressor. One minute and the board is like new. I did this several times for free through an acquaintance. Compressed air is also not recommended. The lousy one is usually for sale.

Answer 11

compressor, or, as in good car dry cleaners, pressurized steam.

Answer 12

OK. So no one tried to wash with water? What could be wrong with this? The contacts on the mother are varnished, putting it to dry for a couple of days is not a problem.
In general, I will try today. I'll post the results :)
