All, Ok ... here's one for you.... As you may or may not know California is in the middle of a series of torrential downpours... and as luck would have it some servers I've been maintaining for a friend with a small home business ... well.... drowned. Tried the hair dryer routine on one of them (full tower cases water got up about 6 inches (9.2cm)) So only the lower portion of the mobo and the nic's where under water. Problem is that even though it was straight rain water, hardwater deposits do conduct electricity and as a result I popped a powersupply. Years ago I would have used trichloralfloralethane to clean the parts and get rid of the deposits... but ... It's no longer sold. Any recommendations on what to use to really clean up these parts so that I can get the boxes back online? or should I just sing the following song?
(To the tune of Silent Night) Servers are down. Some of them drowned. Water Rose Service froze. Don't you know that computers don't swim UPS just won't save them this time Time to shop on E-ba-ay Ti-ime to shop on E-bay. James
