Dishwashing soap is alkaline, battery leakage used to be acidic until alkaline batteries came out. I can't speak about the capacitors, I don't believe I have heard of a resistor leaking anything other that electrons due to a crack in the resistor causing the resistor to fail or working only when there was enough charge to cross the break. I don't believe diodes, transistors or chips leak or melt a residue. That's the end of my high school electronics - come on guys, what are we working with? cigarette smoke tar film? Some engineer out there may be able to give us an insight as to the chemistry we need - such as the nature of the component residue that can affect the electrical perfomance of the board. Some chemist could then tell us what would do the job the best to clean it. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
