There's alot of different techniques.
I use a soft toothbrush and an electronic contact
cleaner spray. The kind that leaves zero residue.
Available at radio shack or over in the electronics
section pfof lots of stores like Fry's. Got my last spray
section pfof lots of stores like Fry's. Got my last spray
can at the auto parts store. Alcohol is a good substitute
but zero residue contact/electronic spray can is The Right Thing.
Using contact cleaner in a spray can works best because
the spray pressure will chase water out of small components.
The key to using a hair dryer or heat gun is to put it on low.
Warm...low....no heat, just blow room temp....whatever
your favorite tool has settings called like that. Low temperature
is the key. I let it blow for a full day. Or many hours.
Some people say no heat gun/ hairdryer because they're
afraid you'll melt the solder or wire insulation and do
additional damage. Well, I've got news for them.
I use precision of judgment and I do not fry my
delicate electronics under a 650 degree heat gun
set on high. And I'll bet you can pull it off too.
