Actually, the Q-Tip will likely leave fibers behind. When I do a repair here I
do an inspection
with a 20 X inspection microscope to check soldering, card edge connectors and
anything
else important. I formerly used Q-Tips for cleaning but after looking at the
finished job thru
the microscope that was the end of Q-Tips. I went to a small brush as Ken
suggests. If a
bristle falls off you can likely see that with the naked eye.
