--- Quote from: AnimeJanai on December 11, 2011, 06:16:21 AM ---Keeping clean is good. Never eat pizza with hands and then touch surfaces.
At work, we once had an engineering related discussion about one engineering field trip where the low-bid supplier had a product delay. Upon return, the gossip vine lit up with specious talk about how dirty that place was and how opening a drawer in a little-used corner of the factory revealed a smut magazine. Oh my. Physically dirty AND mentally dirty too. One thing led to another about how clean we were compared to that supplier. A coworker bragged how clean he was and we immediately had an impromptu contest where a bunch of us took a finger and touched a glass surface. Everyone but 2 people (myself and one other guy) left significant fingerprints. I then bragged about being as clean as my cat and I touched one fingerprint and wiped it clean with my finger. It's easy to keep hands clean if everything else you use is also clean. Otherwise, cross-contamination occurs such as you just washed your hands, then touch a greasy keyboard. Oops, your fingers are dirty again.

Nope, and one of my hardisks is signaling it's end..

On connectors, oil as well as atmospheric grime is a CONTAMINANT. Therefore, it is bad in your case. Oily lubricants have no place in electronic hardware. Oil on a motherboard is bad since it attracts carbonaceous atmospheric soot. Do not use oil to give things a nice shiny appearance. That includes using sprays like that "armor all" which is basically an oil emulsion. WD-40 is especially terrible as it has a lot of surface creep and will eventually migrate all over.

Yes, wiping contact power relays can be cleaned with a specialized aromatic aziotrope-forming spray. But that is not really oil.
