You need to ensure everything is dry

Peter


He does - sounds like his PCB is recovering more function as it dries,
but he'd be well-advised to take it right out, wash well with water and
rinse with distilled water to get the hell rid of the fabric conditioner
or whatever other gunge got spilt and will, if left, slowly corrode away
PCB tracks and knacker electrolytics. After a good wash it should be
left to dry out fully (airing cupboard ideal) before replacement - you
want any moisture trapped underneath components to evaporate away too.

And both of you could make the thread less of a pain to follow by
*snipping*. Bottom posting is definitely the right way to go, but doing
so while relentlessly including - at ever-increasing quoting level - the
entire preceeding exchange undermines its usefulness.
