DIY Techno-hacksOld hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.
Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?
Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Water is best.WD40 will find it really hard to get into some of the crevices.
Many of the gaps between todays electronics are under .2mm - with water, the dirty mixes with the clean and carries the dirt away.
With WD40 - you get pockets of dirty water remaining.
Try cleaning your washing up with wd40 as a test.
50:50 alcohol water is even better than water - as it dries much easier - but is harder to obtain.

I've found WD-40 is a pretty decent contact/switch cleaner,though.
