This is for the gentleman that asked about the problem he
had with his computers and dry chemical exposure. Call your
insurance company and have them get ahold of a computer
tech. I have found out that Mineral oil is non conductive
and maybe you can rinse and wash your computer mother
boards in it, the drives and other things that are sealed.
I have read where people that have overclocked their
computers use mineral oil and put their mother boards in it
to keep the processors colder

Maybe this could be used to wash your computer also.
Suggest you also use a vacumn inside and get as much out
