Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I have washed boards that worked afterwards. I would use distilled water if possible, use a soft bristle toothbrush for agitation, not a lot of soap (if any) and allow to dry for a very long time or in a window with sun bathing it. Very low temp in an oven could be fine too, but you don’t want to desolder anything. I recommend also to employ compressed air at some point or other. Lots of places for water to hide on a mobo.
Btw, top tip: do not let children have sugary soda in the computer game room.
Washing a motherboard works, but I prefer a gentle batizan for any unclean motherboards. I swear they dry faster and it helps prevent viruses and malware.
I'm amazed. Y'all are the heroic discoverers of computer maintenance.
