I'm wondering if my second wash of the device doesn't clear up whatever short or damage has occurred, I could by a replacement logic board from this site: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Amazon...5-p-95765.html


That replacement would have a new serial number, and whatever else registration related it has.

My worry is that some of those - even though it looks like a reputable site - might be reported as lost/stolen, and would not be able to register to my account.

I would imagine that the site would do a RMA in that case, but it would be nice if I could just tar or dd some folders on my existing device, and clone all of that onto the new one, but I don't know if that is feasible.
Did you remove the metal shields over the main parts so that you could wash under the parts?
(The underside of the parts is where the connections are.)
