Sticky residue on mobo

[tempstar]

Hi,

I had a small cut on my hand, so I had a bandaid on my finger while I was building my PC. After finishing the build, I noticed that various components had a sticky residue left on them from the bandaid glue.

I can wipe the glue off parts that I can see, but if I had to clean the entire computer I would need to completely disassemble it and, well, you know how many little crevasses and nooks there are just on the motherboard alone.

If the PC boots into the OS, do you think the sticky residue would cause any problems down the line?

That sticky bandaid glue is not conductive is it?

It will probably be fine if you leave it alone, but if you do want to clean it off some alcohol and q-tips will do the job. Just be sure it is dry before powering on.

Thanks for the cleaning tip. Do you think that the bandaid glue is conductive? I can only wipe the parts that I feel are sticky but who knows, maybe I will miss an area on the mobo that is still sticky.

I believe it is not conductive.
