raxen Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Go to an computer store and get some cleaner for the motherboards and that type of stuff. After you clean it, it wouldn't hurt to put some silver compound on the everything to keep everything conducting like it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 What is silver compound and where do you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raxen Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 It is a silver based liquid that you apply to freshly cleaned surfaces to keep from oxidizing metal surfaces and losing conductivity aka it keeps electronics working right. You can pick some up at radio shack or any equivalent electronics store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
