dishwasher + mainboards - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
  Okay, I just ran the mainboard to my 64 through the
dishwasher.  Does anyone
 know what the material between the metal noise shield and the board is, 
Paper

...
  and why it expanded during dishwashing?  
soaking wet ?

...
  And if it will shrink again as it 
 cools and dries?  I didn't run the thing through the dry cycle either. 
Use strong, cool air  to blow the water away. I always
use compressed air from a supply for pneumatic tools.
Blowing the water away instead of drying avoids stains
...
 from calcium and other dispensed materials (Well,
Munich water is _very_ 'strong' :).

...
  It is VERY clean... :) 
:))

...
  If it works after this I'll probably have to track
down a replacement 
 keyboard.  THEN throw the whole thing in a ziplock bag and keep it until I
 figure out what to do with it. :) 
Wooah - a Ziplock Bag ? Together with the energy cost
for your dishwasher this tripples the value of the C64
board :)

Gruss
