You Will Need:
- Compressed air
- Vacuum with attachments
- Brush with very soft bristles
- Cotton swabs
- Rubbing alcohol
Steps to Clean the Motherboard:
- For general cleaning, remove the covering over the motherboard.
- Next, there are two options for removing the loose dirt and dust. The first is to blow it off with a can of compressed air. The second is to vacuum it out with a vacuum cleaner or dust buster. If you choose to utilize the vacuum, keep the attachment several inches away from the small pieces and intricate workings on the motherboard to avoid any damage or removal of the small components.
- The dust is caked on, use the soft brush to gently brush over the area to loosen it.
- Follow this with either more compressed air or vacuum it away for removal.
- If there are sticky substances or dirt that cannot be removed, you will have to use a liquid cleaner with GREAT care. Adding liquid to a motherboard is never a good idea and great caution should be taken not to cause any damage.
- Moisten a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and gently wipe away the sticky substance.
- The alcohol will help to remove the dirt and evaporate quickly to lessen the chances of electrical damage.
- Allow the motherboard to dry completely before reinstalling or powering the unit again.
- Replace the cover onto the device.
Additional Tips and Ideas
- Prior to using any liquid cleaners, ensure that all of the power has been turned off to the device. This is important for both your protection as well as to prevent damage to the motherboard.
- If you have any doubts about your ability to clean the motherboard, do not hesitate to contact a professional or the manufacturer for further instructions.
- Keep in mind that applying any liquids to the motherboard will likely void any warranty on the item.
