Yes. In the early 90s I did board level repairs on Amigas, the most fun was rewiring a board after someone spilt spaghetti sauce inside and just kept using it.

Yes. In the early 90s I did board level repairs on Amigas, the most fun was rewiring a board after someone spilt spaghetti sauce inside and just kept using it. Then ants got inside. It was like some sort of miniature world horror movie, mould, eaten traces, ants in dead poses from shorts.
Did a bathtub soap off and dry in oven, used alcohol to second wash, replaced like 4473838 billion caps, and had to rewire a few traces. Good times, and still cheaper than a replacement board.
(The soap ph was particularly important due to all the acidic leaking caps)
But that was computing costs in the early 90s.

They spilled it all in the top vents, and didn't open it to clean. It oozed everywhere inside. They only cleaned the outside. The guy told me "it smelled really bad for a while, then seemed fine, until the ants came"
