I have come into possession of an RB4011iGS+5HacQ2HnD-IN.
It works, but its life was spent in a cafe, and the outer casing at
least has a thin layer of grease from (I guess) aerosolised grease in
the air around the fryers. The top is worst, the bottom and sides seem
much less affected. The four antennas are very greasy, and one seems
broken.
I haven't taken it apart yet to see if the innards are greasy too
(don't have a small enough allen key). As it is passively cooled it
seems likely that it'll be OK. It was running 24/7 in that environment,
so I think anything that was going to catch fire would have done so by
now :-)
So I have two questions!
1: What's the best way to get the grease off (and possibly out of) this
thing? Isopropyl alcohol doesn't do much. If I can get the PCB out of
the case I might just wash the case with detergent and a brush :-) If
I'm carefull I could probably do the same with the antennas. There are
people on the Internet saying to do much the same thing with the PCB as
well but...
2: Are the antennas on this model replaceable? They don't seem to want
to unscrew or unplug.
Regards, K.
