The ozone method would be great. Hook up the generator to a clear plastic container, run the generator line into it, tape it up, and stick it in the sun.
Whole keyboards could be retrobrited without any real hassle.

I'll just stick to the original approach which is also learned from the 8 bit guy. It works fine, just be patient, 20 hours of sunshine will suffice for sure, but if you want the job done within four hours, you need to adopt another method.

I'll be testing this method with full computers, monitors, peripherals and keyboards. I don't think he waited long enough and it did a pretty good job with no need to take anything apart. I ordered an ozone generator and some of those vaccum space bags. We'll see what happens...ohaimark wrote: ↑The ozone method would be great.
