So, I just want to get this straight as I'm going to attempt this with my macbook a1342 logic board.
It's been unplugged for about a week and I'll remove the battery day of disassembly (how does one discharge capacitors manually or will I not need to according to what Bernie said?).
I have 99% Isopropyl Alcohol that I plan on giving the logic board a bath in. Is it recommended that I rinse it with distilled water AFTER the isop bath? Or is this step not necessary? I don't have a hairdryer so would leaving it under a lamp (or just on its own for a day or two) be sufficient to dry it (and compressed air for the hard to reach places)?
I'm hoping this will fix my logic board. Isop Alcohol/distilled water and patience are much cheaper than a new logic board so I appreciate any advice!

Hey guys - just to update you, I got two different MBP faulty logic boards to start functioning properly again, after a high-grade ethanol bath, and gently cleaning with an anti-static electronics brush. Very pleased with my efforts. Thanks!

Jason, would you be able to explain what you did step by step?
