Please excuse my asking, but: you are aware that the motherboard wash is a 
stopgap measure, yes?  And that the electrolytic capacitors that originally 
leaked the goo have to be replaced before they leak again?

Sorry to bring it up, but since you didn't mentioning anything about 
replacing/intending to replace the caps, I did want to double-check.


Best,
