To admit I have never tried on PC hardware, but it worked well everywhere else. Radio (on inside electronics), speakers (on coils), all of the electrical installation (ok, not all wires), floppy drive, computer power supply fan, CPU cooling complex, PC box, keyboard (between buttons), any non-organic moving parts that you can find at my place, all of the car's components worth spraying, etc. > I'm just a little skeptical > about spraying a lubricant over the inner workings of anything electronic. What is a "lubricant"? Sorry I'm not a native speaker of english. Anyway, WD-40 was designed for protecting and repairing whatever electronics that was supposed to ever float in space. I find it works quite well on earth too. > Plus, I've never seen WD-40 repel dust, but attract it. I said it protects from dust; it dosen't even need to repel anything (atho it does repel water). And it dosen't attract a thing once it has dried out, that's when there is a nice little layer of plastic in place of it. -- Don't feel bad about asking/telling me anything, I will always gladly reply.
