Using the right chemical solutions when repairing and maintaining electronic devices is the most important step in extending the life of the device. Water or unprofessional cleaners can cause short circuits or corrosion (rust) in microcircuits.
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and Its Benefits
Isopropyl alcohol, which is 99.9% pure, is considered the "gold standard" in electronics. It quickly dissolves oils, solder residues (flux), and dust, and most importantly, evaporates without leaving a residue.
- Contact Cleaners: These are sprays that are ideal for cleaning oxidized buttons, switches, and connectors. There are oily and non-oily types that should be chosen according to the type of device.
Thermal Pastes and Fluids
Timely renewal of thermal paste, which ensures heat transfer between the processor and radiator, prevents servers and computers from burning out.
