Hi all, Kind of off-topic, as I'm not going to be converting this machine, but thought it would be the best place to ask!! The pics below are of the guts of my Enviro discs of tron - the side circuit boards appear OK, but the bottom is really dusty / dirty...what are the best methods for cleaning - I don't want to vacuum, nor do I want to zap myself... My site is at: http://www.acay.com.au/~timbo/discs_of_tron_environmental.htm Thanks! Tim. |

Canned air moves lots of dust off of electronics. I recommend doing this outside though with the back left open for it to air out. |

Personally I think you SHOULD be vacuuming. A little portable vacuum cleaner with a flexible hose and a brush attachment. Carefully work around all the components and get all the big chunks and dust bunnies. If you just dive in with compressed air who knows what you could damage by forcing foreign material under the leg of a chip or some such thing. Be careful around wires with compressed air as well. Depending on your air source it's possible you could even disconnect a wire or two. Which ever direction you choose, slow and careful cleaning will be your best bet. |

5+ years in the video game resto business and never damaged a machine by vacuuming the bottom. |
