Anyone here have experience applying conformal coating to hashboards?

IPA and a soft toothbrush should sort it…

I got that but need a way to prevent future damage

What caused it? Spillage from something? It shouldn’t just appear..

Moist air afaik

My chemistry teacher would say: "that's what you get when you let aluminum touch your metals" he probably also would tell you to wedge a small lump of lead in the heatsink so that gets consumed first.

sorry dude been offline , you still need help ?

oh yeah do you have any tips for this?

Found some methods online I could test...

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the board. Masking tape to cover chips, ports, pins & any heatsinks you can’t remove. Apply silicon coating from a spray can , go light a few passes. Test the tape to make sure it leaves no residue, you can get special tape for electronics but a good quality decorators masking tape works well and you’ll save a few sats. The removal of the corrosion is something we wouldn’t do in house, you can end up digging out quite a bit of board before filling it. Do you have a repair shop locally ?

Allright thanks a lot!

so no need to tape off the temp sensor in the photo?

I know how to remove corrosion and fill but it's not that bad yet. Just contacts eroded through. Mostly want to apply coating to save working boards.

Found a couple repairshops around here but no one experiences with miners...

What the board ? I’ll try and find someone through our contacts if you lik e?

standard s19 boards. I saw the s21 boards already have conformal coating on air inlet side.

we're based in Netherlands.

we have a bunch of broker ones from corrosion around this temp sensor. Do you think it's worth repairing?

Also will silicone spray for cars work?

Yes tape the sensor off but not the legs
