This sounds like the best method. Remember, it may take days for the water to eventually evaporate from under transformers and surface mount IC's.

Formula 409 Glass and Surface cleaner (the purple formula) is mostly isopropanol, water, and some surfactants and works very well to clean boards without attacking the enamel on coils, the seals on caps, etc. Don't hesitate to ask for help if there is anything we can do from long distance. We were lucky with all the storms.

I had lots of home theater / PC's and TV's in my garage and living space there(some of it new)...we had three feet of water/mud inside...I am trying to dry out and hopefully salvage as much as possible, I need some kind of circuit board cleaner that is cheap that I can buy maybe a case to start with. any tips or help greatly appreciated.I had no insurance and looks like Fema doesn't help much. > -Tony > Anthony Moseley > Electronics Inc. > 7027 Hwy. 441 > Dillard, GA 30537 > electronics@xxxxxxxxx > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- > Lost Password: > http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?". > Email Archives: > //www.freelists.org/archives/techassist/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
