[QUOTE="ludo, post: 78161, member: 691"] Hmmm. Giffy job. For cleaning plastic bits, dishwashing soap & water & toothbrush. To clean the PCB, I use a solder flux remover. The most aggressive one I know is Cramolin Flux-Off. I eats some plastics but is OK around all the usual things on a PCB except Polystyrene caps. Most of the time the trouble is to get the corroded bits (like springs if there are any) clean again, so they don't just carry on going even more vrot over time. Evil in remote controls, but in a DMM you could probably just fit a new PP3 connector. Somehow beer and wine and battery spills like to chow the copper out of through-hole plating on boards. The point where conformal coat and solder joint meet also seems to be particularly tasty to corrosive substances. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
