Experts on the list on cleaning boards with dishwashers - please review this carefully and comment as to whether or not this may help Mr. Stacey.
A dish washer takes hot water with dish washer soap, sprays the dishes a couple of times, then sprays the dishes with hot, clean water a number of times to rinse off the soapy water and then (if it has a dry cycle) heats up the air to speed up drying. The key elements seem to be, the type of dishwaher soap, the temperature of the water, the force of the spray, amount of spray necessary to do the job (both of soapy water and of clean water), the complete drying of the board before electricity is introduced. Not being an expert, but often seeking alternatives, couldn't these procesesses be duplicated with a spray bottle? using hot water with dishwashing soap and then clean, hot water? leaving it stand on end somewhere safe to dry? The dishwasher, in and of itself, is not what cleans the leaked residues from the components that contaminate the board. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Stacey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 12:06 PM Subject: Re: Do recent Classic II's read 800K discs or run 68K software? > I have pulled the motherboard out and cleaned it with cotton swab and some > rubbing Alcohol.
