I have and use DeOxit and a couple varieties of contact cleaners, I just wasn't sure if they would harm a PCB. A lot of compressed aerosol type cleaners have a chilling effect, and that can be bad on the board and protective laminate. Once the laminate starts to release, then you've all but destroyed the board. I've done repairs on old amplifier and pinball boards, but that involved de-soldering and re-soldering points, where flux and heat generally take care of any corrosion. I'd prefer not to use heat on this if at all possible.
I do have some old boards that I've saved for small parts. I suppose I could experiment on a couple of those.
Oddly enough, there are practically NO videos from any pros on YouTube about this kind of repair. Lot's of point repair videos, but nothing on surface corrosion cleaning.
