Hi all, I'm one of those who reported that the vaseline turned green and a few pins black. Well I know this sounds stupid, I was actually using Vaseline intensive skin care lotion. Ok before you laugh your *** off let me explain. Here where I live when people say vaseline, they refer to the skin care lotion. So when I read about vaseline working fine for condensation prevention, I was a bit skeptical but people assured me that it works. So I went off to use the wrong kinda vaseline. I have never heard or read of this Vaseline branded petroleum jelly and therefore used the wrong kind.

I don't worry about RMA (I lost the warranty on my mobo the first day I got it hehehe) so I will go with the dielectric grease since I’m not planning ever to clean it. I was able to buy one (it’s called Dielectric Tune-up Grease) at Auto Zone as someone suggested.
Ohhh and Miss_Man I hope that your computer still works.

ok guys. for a lot of people's sake...lets call it PETROLEUM JELLY from now on! I know a lot of people that refer to skin care products as Vaseline. Just like "can i buy a coke?" instead of cola. or Vel-cro (spelling) as opposed to its proper name, hook and loop connectors/tape.
