Cleaning boards
I noticed that my cards and boards are covered in dust.
I have no compressed air (I could blow on them), what is the safest way to clean boards (cables, etc). Thanks |

It can be had for less than $10 at any good office/computer supply store. It's a liquid under pressure and comes with a 5" plastic capillary dispensing tube. I have "Dust DestroyerTM". I use a vacuum cleaner in conjunction with a blast of gas so that flying dust is extracted from the air. X |

Since they banned the ozone layer depleting solvents for cleaning flux during manufacture, there's been water soluble fluxes and boards washed with water. You just have to make real sure its completely dry before powering up again. I've heard tell of small manufacturers putting boards in a dishwasher while they waited for updated cleaning plant to be installed. |
