6 million dollar Stubby 21

[gary68]

I use Ardrox - but I scrounged it from someone who works in the dockyard and haven't seen it for sale anywhere but any electrical circuit spray cleaner will do the same job. If you have any isopropyl alcohol I'd use a bit of it on a cotton bud, remove the screws, lift the wires and give them a good clean - the alcohol should remove any grease/juice/crud and evaporate without leaving any residue so it should work ok.

Personally I'd clean it and re-assemble first and only fit the new board if the cleaning option didn't work. With luck you'll have a functioning mod and a spare board that can be changed easily in case it craps out in the future or the problem keeps coming back.

I've ordered one from Amazon

There’s also a vid for the Empire Squonk, but I believe it’s pretty much the same for the Stubby.



And I can’t agree more…clean all your connections! I clean the positive/negative connections on my boros and dotaios quite often, and it does make a for more precise ohms readings

Don't forget to clean the mod battery terminals as well as the board.

I generally use Methylated Spirit or WD40 both do a good job.
