Dish soap!
So it's like what I do for repairing old video game monitors... throw it through the wash and then just let it dry completely before applying power?

Compressed air works too
Great. Thanks for the info! :toast:
wd40 & a soft brush works ok too
in fact soft brush only needed for mobo/zif, wd40 will blast a cpu clean on its own
