Dragon et al,
I generally do not recommend electrical spray cleaners as there are so many additives it is hard to know the effects of each. Many contain solvents that are harmful to plastics or contain any of a variety of lubricants. Some may contain trace amounts of chemicals that can conduct at high frequency which will wreak havoc with micro procs and controllers while seeming to be benign for low frequency signals.

Interesting tangent:

If you drop your phone in water or wash it in the washing machine, then not all is lost. Fill a cup with Isopropyl Alcohol and let the phone sit in it completely submerged overnight. In the morning, take the phone out. In my years at Best Buy, doing this for people who had critical data on a dead phone, ~80% of the time the phone would work after the overnight soak. I'm not saying this WILL work for an FRC component, but if it's dead and you've exhausted all other means (and there's no visible silicon damage) then I don't think it'd hurt to try.

Yes that being true the brand i tend to use has not done anything like that so far im not saying it won't do that but at least in my case it hasn't
