Washing 12 Motherboards with WATER and Attempting to Fix them - (Can YES Fix it Pt. 1/2)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
It has certainly been a long time since we did this, and today we answer that question of "can you wash a motherboard with water?". And I have tried washing parts in the past, but not to this scale. So with these boards coming in and having guaranteed problems, I why as well skip to the chase and wash them down and then see if can get them to work 100% again.

Just an idea, in the past when ive done this after the water wash ive shaken the the boards then dipped them in 90% IPA. My reasoning was it removes most of the h20, dries much faster and deters oxidation.

Old fashion! Back in 90`s, when I used to fix TV, VHS, Stereos, any electronic device and when they where dusty, this was the best solution to see better the problems for repairing. Thanks for bringing back those memories! You are the man!

I've been doing this for 15 years and I love when someone is there to see it. I use distilled water though, not tap water. Tap water has heavy metals, but I've wondered if matters. Apparently it does not. I had a guy run up to me from my alley saying I'm ruining my shit. But nothing has ever stopped functioning that was not already damaged.

So Brian, I need to thank you. I had an old Gigabyte Z68 board, that I just could not get to boot. Nothing worked, been trying for months. Nothing worked. So yesterday, I took it upstairs, removed the cmos battery, and washed it under a hot shower head, with a stiff paintbrush. It's dried overnight, and right now, it's currently installing windows!!!! Who would have thought?? Fantastic. Thanks for the informative channel. Keep up the good work. Thanks again Brian.
My dad taught me about washing motherboards back in the early 90s. (On an old 386/25) Been keeping em clean like that for decades now. Have many old mobos packed away in their boxes now, but they still work. Kept clean and with gentle handling, they last.
love the techyesmusic , Synthwave for life , and the voice of your dad!
Some pointers here. 1. Boards are cleaned in the factory with soaps and water. In fact a dishwasher and good detergent would be a very good combination. Dishes in the same machine would be acceptable but if you don't want to deal with potential issues run a cycle with straight up dishwasher detergent. This is great stuff and cleans a lot of crud up. Some formulations I have seen lately even clean up corrosion. 2. As mentioned before, keep any liquids away from components with capacitors or batteries in them. The charge if it arcs can either cause damage, or start fires if not careful depending on the solvent. 3. IMHO the older stuff is impressive if you can supplement older hardware with modern stuff, ie for storage an sata 3 SSD, and if the chipset is capable, a NVMe PCI 3 SSD. Tech though is moving at light speed it seems and as such, I expect that PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and USB4 will be coming soon to consumer platforms. AMD is pumping out some impressive parts that are beginning to challenge the leaders of 2019 and as such don't expect Intel and nVidia to sit back. In the next few years I think that we will see both massive performance increases while prices are held in check due to real competition. As such, at this point the i3 10320 from Intel for example is a 4 core, 8 thread processor and that is faster than the older 4 core, 8 thread i7 processors on the older platforms. Given this, be careful as something newer with better support may be a much better value for money than used parts.
Hey! I also do this procedure for years, here's some tips: 1) Tap water isn't as conductive as people think it is, as long as you dry everything, you should be fine without too much residue. 2) You can use soap to help clean better, it's fine as long as you clean it off properly with water later. 3) You can use a teethbrush as an easy tool to clean it, just DONT BRUSH TOO HARD, GO GENTLY, if you go too hard you can tear SMD components off the board (ripping also their trails/pads) 4) I don't recommend spraying the board later, those sprays (such as WD-40) create a sticky coat that all it does is attract dust to it and causing it to malfunction later

To ensure a clean dry, I would wash the motherboards in water, as you did, then submerge them completely in Isopropyl alcohol to pull the water off. The alcohol will then more quickly dry the board completely, and pull off the contaminates from the tap water.
So much work behind these videos. Thanks.
Fatality seems like a fitting name for that Asrock board seeing you have so many of them there . that name would make me cautious of buying it .

Hi! Just wanted to ask, what multipurpose spray are you using, Thanks!
I see this video yesterday and you give a idea regarding to take out the bios chip a clean the pins, thanks Byran I do it today!
Hey Bryan, where do you get your thermals pads for mobos and gpus from?
When I saw the title of the video I was thinking is this a click bait wherever I click it lol But it wasn't.
MAD MAN is back!! Dude. Mad Man is part of your brand. Keep playing bits of other tracks, but know that this song is the soul of the channel. I have spoken.
Spotted that Gen 1 x58 DXSO!! Same board I did that x5675 video we talked about!!👌👍Thanks for sharing those nuggets with us B!! 🙏
Where you cleaned up the pins on the bios chip, you could use the same fix which gets batteries to work in old electronics. To remove the layer of corrosion give it a rub with some vinegar. I've fixed loads of items doing that, including ones where the batteries leaked.
Love the content mate love seeing your videos

I learn a lot of useful tips from this channel!

This really looks fun to do....I wish I had a load of old boards and components to play with to do this lol...anwyay congrats with the water washing
Bryan.If you get a motherboard that doesn't work and you get it to work again.Do you run intensive quality control programs?Like Aida64/prime95 heaven benchmark etc before flipping it?And what's the return rate?
ahhhh yes love the 80s electronic music while you work on those motheboards
I've had some success doing this in the dishwasher with no soap, just rinse program! My current htpc was dead when I found it in a dumpster, took mobo out, dishwasher then rinsed in 87% alcohol. Hung to dry 24 hours, still going strong 3 years later.
What are the contents of the multi purpose spray and where can I get it? I have a dead 1151 socket motherboard and would like to try my luck with water cleaning.
Sonic cleaners use warm distilled water solution with some detergent to clean electronics parts. So warm water and dish soap could do the job. I remember in the late 80's and early 90's, I used warm water from the tap and dish soap to clean two original IBM keyboards. And it worked fine and if you want to remove water faster after rincing. I dip the two keyboard in a bath of 90% isopropolic alcohol. This will chase the water and help after with the drying process. Can do the same for boards, wash them, dip them in 90% isopropolic alcohol and next place in the oven at a set temperature to help evaporate the alcohol for 10 to 15 minutes. Voila! You have a clean board.

Something to keep an eye on because i had it happen when washing a board in the past but the water pressure from the sink can bend the pins back if u let the water run directly on the socket without the plastic cpu cover

With regular water, can't stuff build up between the mobo pins?
what kind of protecting spray that u have been used ?
I have seen you use that multipurpose spray. What spray is that exactly that provide protection to the motherboard circuit?
Heck yes to the Dad Man remix and Tech Yes-urrection of some failed motherboards!
i had this old pc stored in the shed from a flood. it did turn on but after about 2 days of use it decided to not work. i washed it and made sure it dried before use. doesnt post anymore. do you think there will be any chance of revival?
Hm..i was wondering....that multipurpose spray..is it ok to put it over naked chipset? When you want to put thermal paste on it..is it ok? Does it not matter that the chip ia not completely degreased and cleaned?
Where did you buy the thermal tape that you use on the northbridge? i have two sabertooth X58 mobos the needs new ones.. Love your content!
One idea for you on the badly bent pins is to use a micro-torch to heat them first, this will help prevent them from snapping off. Yes, it is risky but with a dead board there is no harm done.
I wouldn't mind a 10 hours video of Tech YES Loving™ with some retro wave tunes.

Aluminum does rust. But only the outer layer, and it actually protects the rest of the aluminum. And it doesn't turn brown orange. Oxidation... Rust..... That's just semantics.
Hy Brian, I am an electronics expert al my life and I would suggest you a couple of things 1e After washing your boards with water wat is fine please dompel them completely under in isopropanol alcohol to get rid of all the moisture and let them dry. 2e Don’t use spray for protecting the boards, there is no need for it. Your circuits are low voltage so every form of electrical resistance will lead in unpredictable behaviour because of the high current some components need. (voltage drop) 3e Check if there are no leaking capacitors by pulling one critical cap out of the board and measure it with a good quality capacitance meter. As you know there are a lot of VRM circuits on the board for every type of device (ram. cpu, chipset, etc…), also ceramic types included. (they are truly Chinesium rip-offs) 4e Measure the voltage rails after all the vrm’s on the board with a quality scoop to check the noise level. I think this is a first must wat is easily to do. Good luck, I like your channel.
Love it ! getting down to the nitty gritty!
So how did you dry the boards afterwards?
Should try replacing the CMOS batteries, I have known them to be the most common post failure
What is this multi purpose spray you use?
For the mb's that have dual bios - maybe try swapping the bios chips in the opposite socket. Making the back-ip bios becoming the main bios and main bios the backup bios to see if that might make a difference.
the Asus p55 motherboard, does it support the x3450 and the new GPU? (currently, I use gtx 960) because I'm planning to build pc with that., just to make sure.
hi where did you buy thermal pads??
hey brain i know you dont like dealing with lga 775 boards i do have 2 on hand is it ok if i send them to you? if not i wont. one of the boards does have a intel q8200 in it with 8gb of ram in it.
What kind of spray was that?? (not washing my MOBO, just wondering)..
Love the mixing of Dad in. Golddddd
can u pls put the name of the spray product u use for mbos? thx

Heya, most likely a circuit on the board is toast.
Tech YES City water world lol. I had to come back to this old upload to see how you clean your boards because I recently obtained 3 untested mobo's from a charity organization. All Asrock boards. An Asrock Z270 Taichi, and 2 Asrock Z370 Killer Sli 's. All of them were in original packaging and boxes. The Taichi is good and one of the 370 Killers is good too but the other one fires up but gives no display. Pins look good as I observed them through a lighted microscope gadget I got from Amazon. Swapped the ram, removed the battery but still no go. I followed your steps and gave it a wash as a last resort and waiting on it to fully dry overnight. It was really cool seeing you bring those ones back to life and hope My Z370 can also be resurrected. Great channel, liked and subbed.
which motherboards are after working ? tell me please.
i just ordered a 2060 will i be able to it in pc, will it work no matter what ?
Honestly it really depends on what you're trying to clean. For small stuff that just needs a bit of extra shine alcohol and some qtips and paper does the job. For bigger stuff I just usually give them a wash in my bath tub. Other than that while I don't recommend this to ANYONE, I have in the past cleaned power supplies with water. That said to do so I had to open them up and discharge their capacitors. I come from an electronics background and unless you are also comfortable working with high voltages please don't attempt this. Love these videos YES, keep it up
Hello a quick question I love you resurrecting old boards but how about using MPS spray on a new board to reduce future possible problems with like humidity

This video makes me proud of my name. It really works and works a LOT to wash motherboards by the way, the same goes with GPUs. Highly recommendend
I'm giving my nearly departed stereo the side eye right now. I swapped for it as a favour and the chance of it being an upgrade power wise if I managed to fix it. All the horizontal boards were caked in years of dust and it had what sounded like typical shorted speakers. Cleaned what I could with alcohol and a number 6 watercolour brush and it worked! It sounded awesome, the display came back to life, the buttons did what the labels actually said... for one glorious day 😅. I was gonna try and find a shop to fix it but then I remembered this video! I think it might be time for a full stripdown and hosing for my venerable Panasonic!
