It a well known trick among compact Mac collectors to wash the logic
board of a compact Mac when the sound gets flaky. The caps tend to leak
a little and by running the logic (motherboard) through the dishwasher,
the conductive residue will wash off and the board will function
perfectly for a year or so. Eventually the caps need to be replaced but
you can get by with three or four dishwasher runs before replacing the
leaking caps.

I did once completely dishwash my Apple II Plus
(sans PSU),
motherboard, keyboard, and case. Just use Jet-Dri or some other form
of quick drying agent, to prevent deposits of minerals and other
conductive things on your boards... And make sure it dries apart for
at least 48 hours, more without direct air blowing on it.
You've got to be joking. The motherboard? What temperature did you
do this at? Heated dry? Detergent? You've got to be kidding me.
PS: It's implied that the II Plus worked when
I was done washing it. ;)
Yeah, well, maybe I'll try it on a spare common-as-dirt 486/66 but no
way on my classic hardware :-)
