Hi all!
Here's the Short Story: In attempt to see if a mobo still works, I wanna clean the AGP slot. How do I go about a thorough cleansing of the AGP slot?
Thanx.
Here's the LONG STORY:
I had a disaster with a CPU waterblock leaking onto my Radeon, and then I only noticed after i installed a replacement card, which it also leaked on, and prolly killed (albeit 4 months after it got leaked on ). However, after fixing the leak I also found that my GeForce4 card experiences some display issues - such as the screen just *flashes/refreshes* like when you would change the resolution or something. The GF4 had no water damage, so I am wondering if the AGP slot has some crap from my water in it. The tubes I used got erroded by the water, so the *water* was more like a dissolved silicon solution, and I assume that it could interfere with contact points inside the slot. The leaking took place in like, February or something, and it took this long for that replacement radeon of mine to kick the bucket, so---I am at a loss as to what exactly happened, and killed what, and what can be done - I got a replacement mobo, but I hoped to use the old one (Asus A7N8X DX) as an upgrade to another system.
