Exactly. I was thinking the same thing.... Distilled water is non-conductive. And rather than drying the water & contaminants back to the board, after brushing it clean, rinse it with clean distilled water to get the contaminants off the board before drying. I've been using this water trick for years.
@@jeffram68: Exactly. Clean and RINSE with distilled water, then final rinse with 99% isopropyl alcohol, dry in warm oven. Or, to really get under BGA's, ultrasonic the board, final rinse with 99% isopropyl alcohol, dry in warm oven. The isopropyl alcohol will help to remove the water, especially under BGA's. All Sorin did was smear the contamination around. He didn't even use a wipe or swab to REMOVE a single drop of contamination.
For boards with liquid damage (sugar, coffee, wine, etc) I put it in a tub with hot water with dish liquid, wait half an hour then clean it with a small soft brush. Then I rinse it with distilled water using a spray container and put the board front of a fan for couple hours. The hot water will dissolve even substances stock between solder balls of the BGA chips and connectors. Boards looks like new.
@@xxycom8963 I agree with you. I did some research and deionized water is the cleanest and purest for cleaning electronics even in ultrasonic cleaners.
Actually, from a scientific point of view, dish liquid sort of deionises water as it softens it. So, Mario's method above should apply quite well. I would rather apply the water with a soft brush instead of dumping the board in a tub of water. 😁
It much better with warm water. In factory we do use a machine to spray warm water on pcb, just to clean the solder paste from pcb. We usually do it when operator use wrong stencil to print solder on the pcb or wrong work order.
This video Very Help me becous my new laptop was broken becouse of milk damage. I brought my laptop to service Center but I did not found. Now at 12:30 I am finding this video tutorial than now I understand the way to fix my laptop. Thank you si much for share your life Akilo.
SORIN, Before heating the pcb, use kitchen towel to soak up the water/milk mix, then heat the pcb. (you were diluting the milk and spreading it). I used warm water and kitchen towel, then heat on a apple laptop with fruit juice spill, works :-D
Use of de-ionized ( also mentioned by few commenters below) water both in circuit board manufacturing, as well as the wide use in semiconductor wafer and circuits manufacturing is well known. The de-ionized water is “purer” than distilled water. It has 3 grades ( 50k Ohm, 1M Ohm, and 20M Ohm resistivity) determined by its resistivity. The highest grade ( least conductive) is used in semiconductor wafer manufacturing. For circuit boards with components on them, wash with deionized water, use high percentage ISP ( for displacing/ dislodging water beneath the ICs), and drying with gentle heat right after the cleaning. A good discussion is here: www.circuitnet.com/experts/70402.html.
I also clean the sticky liquids damage with demineralized water. But then, after drying it with kitchen paper towels and hot air for the first time, I wash the same place with alcohol. The point is for the water to remain under the circuits to mix with the alcohol and thus evaporate faster and completely during the second drying.
Hello, Sorin. Thank you for another really good and helpful video. I would like to know what you're using to dry. Is it a blow dryer or vacuum dryer or what?
What you and many other Repair-guys always do: put alcohol or water on it, rub with the toothbrush and wait a while or heat it up. So what do you think happens with the dirt/residue? You think it magically dissappears in a black hole or something? You just dilute and spread it all over, but it's not gone! Same with flux. You have to somehow soak it up before you heat it up if you really want to get rid of it.
I think it should also be emphasised though that for beginners it goes without saying you must make sure you remove all power sources including the CMOS battery if you have one to do this sort of thing, and also make sure not a drop of water is present after you dry it out! Otherwise it's insta death...
I always clean the complete board with hot water and some detergent in the sink, with the soft brush, after that I rinse it with clean hot water and dry it with fan.... the best way
"This is kind of disgusting job" Absolutely! Thanks for the laugh Sorin. I don't know which is more disgusting.....laptop full of milk, or laptop full of dead roaches.
Instead of pure water simply mix 99% IPA with some cheap distilled water 50/50 to get a much lower % IPA thay will still evaporate slower save using a heat gun :)
Why not use a ultrasonic bath cleaner with distilled water. Then use another chemical that removes the water iff the board. I can not remember the name of the chemical. Then put it through a air dryer.
Hello im trying to fix my sons laptop from milk damage i am a starter please can you tell me the tool your using to dry the motherboard after cleaning with water and toothbrush
Sorin, ex Clujean(now in LA) I have an Asus Q502LA, that can't see the HDD in Bios. Picked up the motherboard from Ebay. It worked initially, but after a few restarts, HDD was gone. What could be the problem? Nobody can help me with this issue.
Disappointed that you didn't clean the battery and heat sink. Also, you needed to open text editor (notepad) to test all keys. Liquid damage can short out banks of keys.
Hello Sorin, did you consider making Linux live USB stick, so you can test the laptop functionality including the keyboard without exposing any personal details of the owner?
Is youtube selective with its processing resources? 30mins of 1440p uploaded & processed in a few hours? I had to wait over night for a 4min 4k 60fps vid to process the other day (other channel, low subs)
Where is the dirt going? Since when cleaning = spreading gunk over whole board? You need to wash the board with spray over a sink or better use ultrasonic cleaning.
Hi sir, im from malaysia n im ur fan. I have problems with old lenovo g500s laptop. Everything is working fine but its will shutdown without warning in every 30 minutes. Its to far to send my laptop to u....any suggestion how to fix this kind of issue?
Hi sir, can you help? My redmi 7a is charging and a notification light on but no display. I have change the display but it is still the same. Can I know what is the problem?
Hey Sorin is your Beard itching? Think Coconut Oil Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is one of the top oils experts recommend to help grow your beard fuller, faster (It's also one of the top ingredients in our classic beard oil). ...
Instead of tap water which may have minerals, use distilled water.
Thanks for the video.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess one could use tap water and a tooth brush to do the initial cleaning and distilled for the final rinse.
@@dmonat de-ionised wateris probably cheaper but would do the trick, dissolved ionic salts (conductive) would be avoided

Distilled water is not anymore distilled if it gets dirty so it's the same thing.

I have thought of doing this on some repairs but was unsure. Thank you for the idea.

Hello. Master, the South Bridge often has problems. Please also make videos about the problems of this bridge so that we can use it. thank you
Thank you, it helped me fixing my controller with milk damage too after being so sad and hopeless
Hi Sorin! I like your TBK-008 so I'm ready to ordered 1. Good vid!
perfectly done job Sorin
Nice work Sorin
Sorin's new magic, this time I mean with distilled and not ordinary water. What else will he reveal to us, great master!

It"s Electronics repair school. if you don"t learn here. don"t search arround
Use distilled water its safer and non conductive !! ;)
ANY small amount of metals and other ions will turn the water conductive.
fantastic advice with the water glad you passed it on :)
Looking good with the beard today
Looks like sir you have changed the table
Love from india
WOW! the water works wonders! I've always only used alcohol amazing!

Wow , water ! Thanks for the hint
You look great with beard, Sorin. 😉👍
Water/dishwasher/ultrasonic cleaner. Np Will do a great job.
What a weird spot for the power button, I haven't seen that one.
Great video as always, but promising beard mr Sorin, keep it growing!
Hello, Sorin. Thank you for another really good and helpful video.

could have given the battery and inside a quick wipe

Your screwdriver sound remind me a dentist, Sorin😄
The power of the healing water.
why are there no subtitles?
... if you leave the laptop for a while, it will be not a milk job, but a cheesy job! :P
Wow, today I learn new tip form You
"Where is the power button?!" This reminds me, when my colleague ask me to turn on his Imac so he could login from remote.
haha this is the luckies Tech ever 😂👍
Milk spill damaged, and using water for cleaning, what a magician hands 😅
You can also use windex/glass cleaner and it will dissolve sugar.

Thanks for the video.
Distilled water way to go ! Maybe battery could have been cleaned also ? Thanks sorin...
Hi you must make a video about the multimeter struggling to understand it,and also about where and how to inhect power.thank you in advance
Soren this is great dude
Looking good..Great video.
nice one sir (youtube suck a lot off ADS ) ;😢😢😢😢😢
"This is kind of disgusting job" Absolutely! Thanks for the laugh Sorin. I don't know which is more disgusting.....laptop full of milk, or laptop full of dead roaches.
I seen the last one and I prefer the 1st one, milk.
@@joeycarr1398 I saw a roach infested laptop before too. I think milk wouldn't be as bad!
I think nowan well drink from this bottle🤣🤣That's good meaning Sorin Thanks for the laugh and Wishing you all the best from Serbia!!!
Sorin, where did you get that lovely electric screwdriver from - what brand? It even makes a nice noise too.
Try distilled water, it does not contain mineral salts so that they will not remain after drying, and its conductivity is weak
only downside of using water is video is short ✌️
Tell them Computers don't need feeding with milk 🤣🤣👍
cleaning with Wonka is the best of both worlds. 60% distilled water and 40% alcohol :-) .
Everyday job like this, minus the smell. I think an air freshner should now be a required tool. 😉
A Job for the Master of Desaster
Oh come on Sorin only milk...? we want butter and eggs inside !!!! :D :D xD
"i fix your tires and your radio is not working" Lol, what a comparison
Did your Coustmer watch these videos, how you easily repair the laptops
thank you sir
I like the beard. Nice touch. 😀
Whatever laptop drink my teacher sorin sir will out it😄
Let's unmilk a milked laptop.
Sir? What kind of water that did you Clear??
The end of the heatsink is held by the screw on the bottom cover
In this condition the fast way is sink and tap current water , or a pot of water 😁
Instead of pure water simply mix 99% IPA with some cheap distilled water 50/50 to get a much lower % IPA thay will still evaporate slower save using a heat gun :)
They call it waterboarding Sorin,

Pouce bleu ! comme d'habitude !
BRAVO BOSS ;)

Dirt diffuses in the bottle, relax, it's not a hard drive, there's no point making it spotless.
what about the cooking oil spilled on mobile motherboard?
Do you not have a sonic bath ?
Power button in the 🔝 row!
as long as you have alcohol to repel your water after your good
Come Besiktas Sorin...Are you sure that's milk? 😃 Look at the web browser history?
Hello,
Do you have online training?
Nice one
I hope next time won't be dog piss like northridgefix :D
next time try distilled water since it doesn't conduct electricity
