That's sad. At least the rainbow Apple logo is still in perfect condition.
I have a Performa 6116CD.. still working very good with Mac OS 9.1
I have a Performa 6200CD and it is slow as hell... It seems to do fine as a file server with System 7.5.5 but slows right down with OS 8.1. It even has the cache card and ram maxed out.
There's a garbage hopper at the block of units I used to live at, that's been spitting out olds Macs for the last 18 months or so. All pretty ancient stuff. About every 6 - 8 weeks a new (old) Mac appears in the hopper. I guess we've dragged out around a dozen or so. We have no idea where they're coming from but so far I think only one has not worked. Needles to say, we counsel them to help them through the harrowing experience and then find them a loving home.
maybe you've found the legendary lost murbot Mac Graveyard.
That didn't work with compressed air. The mud was very, very dry and I had no chance of getting it off with the air. It also was pretty thick. So took the little boy to a shower. He looks like new now, and will be out drying for some time.
Press your thumbs for luck, so that I can revive him one more time...
Get a bottle of isopropanol (91%) at a local drug store. Should set you back about 2 bucks. It should take off the mud, and it probably won't damage the electronics.
I also have an SE, still working like it always did.
Well, I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl, because I haven't checked? but I think it's a dumb idea to say if a computer is a boy or a girl. I mean, yes, my computer has a name, but this Performa was one I just picked up. No need to get emotional about that.
Yep, I almost did that with isopropanol at work, but I decided against it because we didn't had much left, and the mud was really thick - It even took some time with the shower head. It was all very thick and dry, and stuck on it like some things on other things
And no, I don't like taking little dirty boys to the shower, I always look that I change their diapers before that, you pervert.

Ask at electronic repair shops if nobody comes up with the answer here first.

lol. Give her a good spray. She's seen water before...I'd say it wouldn't hurt her a bit.
[edit] Whoops. I didn't scroll to your last post.
