I'm going to be trying the Simple Green/Garden Hose Carwash method on my Donkey Kong electronics this weekend. It's supposed to be 89° and sunny on Saturday.
Anything I should know before proceeding?
I plan to do this for all of the following components. Please let me know if there's any part I should do differently.
1. Monitor Boards (currently removed from Chassis)
2. Monitor Chassis
3. Two-Stack PCB
4. Power Supply Assembly
My plan is to apply Simple Green, allow to set for 15 or so minutes, hose off, then allow them to set in the sun for the remainder of the day. I do not have access to an air compressor, but I do have a leaf blower for drying.
Will I need to do some scrubbing with a tooth brush or anything, or do you guys just spray on and rinse off?
Also, should I remove socketed ICs before doing this, or leave them in? If I take them out, how do I know where they go?
Thanks for any input.
