have this

you forgot to mention putting magnets inside your machine to repel noobs on your team

The bigger the magnet, the more noobs you repel.

This pic is actually good, as long as the soap residue is washed away and it's left to completely dry.

With the battery still inside? Nope

There's charge in the capacitors

Far from true. A lot more work would need to be done. It would need to be thoroughly cleaned with de-ionized distilled water, then baked in PCB oven for quite some time. And even that will likely not do it.

I`d imagine the inductors will be goners and probably faulty solder joints will appear after the second ovening... frankly I`d probably throw it away, not worth the bother unless it`s a really expensive board thats worth the repair.

You are right that it likely is not worth the time to fix. But as far as putting it in a PCB oven, it doesn't need to go up to reflow temps, just slightly over 100c to remove moisture from the board.

yeah, I bake them at 100C for 5 minutes when the moisture indicator is off on new ones... happens more often then I`d like... really sucks pulling them out afterwards cause it`s not like we keep oven mitts in the lab you know, it`s sleeves only kind of environment

You work in a manufacturing lab? Nice. I'd love a job at one.
As far as a PCB being fully submerged in water I would want to bake it for no less than 1 hour but more likely around 2 hours with a slow ramp up and ramp down to prevent warping. The things I have seen that ends up being the biggest issue is corrosion and other contaminates building up under the bga chips. Thats really when you should use an ultrasonic cleaner.

I miss doing this type of work.

something like that. I work at a university, we have a small lab there where the students can do their stuff, that's where most of the problems come up, improper handling and all that. Nothing surprising much, fingerprints on PCBs and then you gotta prime it for the oven again or someone ESDs their components right out of the bag and I gotta explain what they did.

And chemically distilled water.
As in, pure H2O. Otherwise, stuff like Cl, and Na 'n **** is gonna stick on it after the water has evaporated.

And even then, you have to make sure the water isn't contaminated by you touching it, and soap seems like a bad idea generally.

Way more work than is worth. Stick to those air cans.

Air duster wont get that crusty cum from between my keys. wat do?

Sounds like you need some Dust Off gamer gear cleaner.

Also you have to dry it fast otherwise metals will react.

So blow warm air over it and stick it in a bag of rice.

Instructions unclear, made chicken risotto.
