Just a basic unscripted bench video since I haven't figured out what story I want to tell about this yet.

I think the anit static brushes and a ton of elbow grease. Often easier just to remote the board from the case and wash it (if you really want a clean board.)

This video got me thinking, If you have to clean again. Maybe you cud get away with keeping the lower chassis out of it to help keep some grime falling onto cards and chips?

I’m cancelling my therapist. Your videos are my new antidepressant. Can’t go wrong with a workbench vid. I feel the the lil tidbits of information to be seemingly more organic in a way. Thanks CRD.

Haha. Wow didn't lose the data?! I had so many of those damn drives die. Swore off IBM drives for good.

Ah yeah, I've seen this sorta thing for cards before, just... how does one clean the motherboard? I'd like to clean it without *completely* gutting the machine, just inviting more possible harm than leaving it as-is, you know? Surely there must be a solution!

Oh and thanks for the heads up on future domain. Dunno how I've never heard of them.

Yeah, the deathstars I was aware of - funny story, I used to have one, 13GB, which I used for about two years... during which it was clicking every day as it hit read errors, but *never lost any data.* When I retired it for another drive, it was still perfectly functional, it just clicked.

As for cleaning cards, this is my method: http://imgur.com/a/rFjcHP8 I just rinse it super well then blow off all the water then let it dry. Sorry I had no before pic of that card but it was nasty and covered in a ton of dust and plant debris. (it was found in a shed)

IBM Deathstar was my nickname for those drives. That drive was a precursor it looks like, but probably just as crappy... Real name was the IBM Desk Star of course :-) Luckily Windows 10 no longer messes up drives connected to it, but it a lot easier to mess it up by accidentally clicking LOL. Well and you can't stop it from auto mounting a FAT drive so there is that. Future domain was one of the big SCSI card makes back in the day along with Adaptec... Definitely tier 2.
