What is the best method for cleaning up leaked electrolyte? This PCB
has some
corrosion on IC leads and vias.

Is there a corrosion neutralizer that would be effective? Since the
potential
for corrosion in places that aren't accessible (deep in the vias), a
liquid
that can neutralize corrosion is called for.

Would something like DeOxit work in such an application?

This is on a Tek scope acquisition board.

Thanks.

You must be single.



You can always do it while the wife is out, it's not gonna damage anything.

When I was a teenager I occasionally washed engine parts in the
dishwasher, not something I'd recommend, but my mom never found out.



Just be sure to do a 60 C bake for about a half hour afterward.
