Electrical Contact Cleaner Spray
Recently, when I was having a problem with crackling noise on my HTPC. I took the suggestion of one poster on the forum, who suggested using a spray such as this, because it sounded good to me. However after doing so, instead of crackling, there was no sound at all.
I've replaced the card, but now am wondering if I should ever use that cleaner on a computer component or not? Not sure if it matters, but it is the CRC brand. On inspection, it didn't appear to do any physical harm, and it dries so quickly, it doesn't seem likely, but yet I'm left wondering?
