Well....cleaning the cpu was easy obviously, but with limited supplies on hand here is what I did.

I tipped the board so the alcohol would run right off the end and scrubbed the socket with a toothbrush. Then to get the grease out I used, of all things, my mouth to blow compressed air through the socket and I repeated the procedure several times.

Now in the picture I am blow drying the socket with the Vantec Tornado.

Until the next episode...............
