Default Re: Cleaning and repairing a Corroded computer board

Was your board powered when it got wet?
I was once asked to look at a camera that had got wet.
The guy told me he had dried it as soon as possible.
It turned out that he had just dried it on the outside with a towel.
It had been dropped into the dirty sea water in the hull of a boat.
As the battery was still in it all the tracks were dissolved off by the electrolytic effect.
There was no chance of fixing it as there was still water in it after it had been carried back from a sunny beach in some hot country to UK.
