[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1377476, member: 46727"] Yeah, you need to tear that baby apart completely and likewise get at the underside of the logic board. And... do not use alcohol as it can destroy plastic parts and damage traces. Use clean distilled water if available and lint free clothes or hospital swabs. As far as whether or not the cleaning will stop the kernel panics, you'll just have to chance it and see. Kernel panics are generally caused by hardware glitches or failures. Lots of work to do a thorough cleaning but it might just pay off and save you big $$. The ifixit web site is a great site to use because they have detailed take apart instructions you can download and print out. Oh, and make sure you have a good tool set with the proper drivers (torx, phillips, hex, etc.). Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
