I have seen a tutorial on how to totally clean up your main board. It is pretty shocking. My brother decided to try washing one of our main board based on the tutorial. We haven't tried to turn it on.
If left to dry out completely, the water shouldn't effect the components too much I think. The only danger is if water saturates the PCB fibre it could swell up and deform, moving tracks and creating shorts. Don't quote me on this thou ! ;-)
wow.. thats a good test to do.. maybe if my board is that old ill try it.. but they say you can wash it with soap just make sure to blow dry it right away. My Photo Journal
