Finger Prints on HDD Circuit Board

[rickytheman]

I was pulling out my HDD and accidentally touched the circuit board of the HDD with my fingers. Now I can see two oily finger prints on the board. What should I do?

Welcome to the forums!

A fingerprint on the PCB should not effect anything.
If you want to clean it off just wipe it clean with a dry cloth; otherwise just install it and do not worry about it

If it bothers you, just clean the prints with isopropyl alcohol (audio/video head cleaner). You could apply it with a toothbrush or cottonbud.
