I'm not kidding, as anyone else on this list can tell you ;-) . The goo I refer in my post are the rests of the motherboard condensers' electrolytic liquid. When the condensers age, they usually leak their contents. The problem is that this goo is conductive, and effectively creates short-circuits in the motherboard, which, in turn, doesn't allow the computer to work. The diswashing removes all the goo, and makes "unrepairable" boards work in about 95% of the cases :-) . It's almost magic, but, as you see, it has scientific base. Of course, all boards do also look a lot nicer after the treatment ;-) . Greetings, Antonio Rodr�guez (Grijan) <ftp://grijan.cjb.net:21000/> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
