Last night I knocked a coffee all through the top vent of my PC, Computer immediately shut down , I cleaned it out, there wasn't much of a spill, turned it on and during use got a BSOD, restarted got a freeze , went to sleep, it was early hours...
Woke up tried it again everything seemed good games worked fine good temps good voltage etc, turned it off and went to get all the thing I needed to clean each component individually, returned with the stuff that I needed and a nice 500ml monster energy drink, walked past the open computer laid flat on the floor out jumped my drink busted all over the motherboard...
I removed CMOS battery and ran the motherboard under the tap , I just figured being covered in water is better than covered in a sugary drink ,
Cleaned every component individually, and I'm now sat just waiting for it to dry, I'm using an led lamp to look closely at the motherboard and it just looks brand new , I know water is corrosive so my question...
Should I clean the motherboard with this isopropyl that I have? Should I use it to cleanany marks I can see? Or should I just pour it all over...i mean I know that sounds terrible but I'm already at the stage of having ran it under the tap so surely alcohol can only help prevent the corrosion and remove any left behind crap from the drink?
Any advise would be awesome
