Title say it all.
I got a box of PCBs. Some of it is crap that cannot be salvaged. Two of the PCB sets may just need a good cleaning. Then there is one that isn't pretty but may be slavageable. There is some rust on some of the chip legs. Is there a safe way to remove the rust without causing permanent damage to the PCB or other components on the PCB??? CLR??? WD 40 and a toothbrush??? Regular electronic contact cleaner??? A little sandpaper and rubbing alcohol???
A little more info on the PCB....
It's a DK 2 board stack. The rust is mostly on the removeable chips but there are a few that are soldered into place that will need some attention. It is light rust (compared the the two crap PCBs that are degrading and covered in it). I haven't tested any of the boards because I wanted to give them a fighting chance at working.
