MERGED QUESTION
Question from mario7770 : "HELP NEEDED. Washed my motherboard."

[quotemsg=21458370,0,1457631]Hello there
so today I decided to clean my computer as I saw that there was some stains& dust in my motherboard since I didn't clean it for a while. so I decided to wash my motherboard with water and soap. I have seen on the internet several people have done this and it was successful.

The problem is I accidentally washed the motherboard while the CMOS battery is attached I am starting to wonder if it has caused any damaged to my motherboard

is there any steps that I should do before powering up my motherboard

Don't take any chances: take out the battery (if you haven't already) and dispose of it in recycling. A new battery will spiff up that spotless clean motherboard better.

I hope you rinsed thoroughly to get all the detergent out of nooks and crannies. Detergent is hygroscopic, absorbs moisture from the air, and moisture isn't good for electronics. Also dry well...a hair dryer generally works pretty well for drying out the board, coupled with an overnight air dry. Some people suggest sealing it up in a bag (the same bag it comes in inside the box) with dessicant to draw all the moisture out.

Otherwise it should be OK. BTW, in these days of environment friendly no-lead solders and citrus based halogen free flux cleaners water wash is the standard way to clean circuit card assemblies at the factory. You have just got to get the board very dry before powering it up.

[quotemsg=21458398,0,2158787]If somebody said on youtube, that it is safe to shoot yourself in the head, would you do that too?
Obviously that was not very smart idea.[/quotemsg]

[quotemsg=21458400,0,178884]WHAT!!!! you WASHED YOUR MOTHERBOARD!!

LOL that is the funnest thing I have ever heard..

just an FYI water is BAD for motherboards!!! and soap LOL..[/quotemsg]

[quotemsg=21458403,0,178884]Time for a new computer.. and DON'T wash that one[/quotemsg]

[quotemsg=21458424,0,2695855]Water and electricity never mix, which is why the CMOS battery must be removed prior to washing it. And yes, many have thrown them into the dish washer with success. But the MB must be fully dried first before reinstalling the battery in.

IMHO, there's no reason to wash the whole board unless it's it's caked on with tobacco smoke residue.

If you must clean the contact pins, specific electronic cleaner is the way to go. Water and soap will only clean what's water soluble to begin with, and should only be used as a last resort.[/quotemsg]

[quotemsg=21458465,0,59887]If you want to clean a motherboard that badly, remove the battery, use 91% rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush. [/quotemsg]

Take out the CMOS battery, and wait a week before you reassemble.[/quotemsg]

[quotemsg=21459420,0,178884]you could also maybe put it in a box full of desiccants. that would help pull out any extra water you got on it.. Also I would on the connectors use some 91% isopropyl alcohol (not rubbing alcohol as that can leave a residue)!![/quotemsg]
