Baby Oil in a Nintendo Game cube
Hopefully someone here can give me some insight. My two-year old
poured a significant amount of baby oil in my six-year old's gamecube. I am presently draining it. Is it toast? Would it present a fire hazard if I tried to plug it up? TIA |

If the oil isn't conductive then you might be safe....but it might be water
based? I guess you could get some electronic cleaning spray and open it up and just drown everything to wash the oil out, the spray will evapourate and should leave it all clean. wrote in message oups.com...

TIA So long as it didn't get in the optics of the drive you're probably ok, no real hazard, but it could be tricky to clean it all out. |

I believe the oil is mineral oil. Oil did get on the lens. Is there a
safe way to clean it off? Jonathan wrote: If the oil isn't conductive then you might be safe....but it might be water based?
