Default How to clean
Hey guys I bought a HD Core card and it is dirty. How do you guys clean them? Or do you just let them be?

I would get a can of compressed air for such tasks.

That's what I was thinking. The problem is there is "crap" stuck on the card itself not just lint. It's like a mixture of moisture lint and "dirt" that got on the card. In areas that there is no circuitry I can wipe it off with my finger but I am affraid to go over the circuitry.

I would try an old(dry) toothbrush with the can of air. Gentle brushing and shots of air should clean it up fine

Oh good call. That may do the trick. I will have to pull it out after this session and see what i can do. Is anything on the card known for being broken easily?
