The water here is so full of minerals I'd be afraid of making things worse anyway. If I've got a coke splattered PCB from a game system I'm working on I just hose it down with contact cleaner and break out the q-tips. I use an old toothbrush on console cases, but as long as it wasn't a brittle yellowed one the shells* could probably be tossed in. I wouldn't expect it to get all the dust and crap out of the nooks and crannies though.Majors wrote:Dishwasher is also a method to clean PCB's.

*to clarify I mean a completely disassembled shell. No electronic guts, not even any springs, buttons, or door mechanisms still attached.
