    Question Burning smell from motherboard

    So I guess its a minor problem. No burns no nothing, i just need to have it cleaned thoroughly. I won't bother myself removing the board because it might ruin the CPU's attachment to the heatsink.

    Question Burning smell from motherboard

    I found the alcohol soaked dust area (its brown, if it was burnt wouldn't it be black) that is the place where the smell is strongest. Its around a chip
