Just wash the board off with distilled water. That will safely remove any impurities. As far as I know baking soda does conduct electricity but not very well. Once cleaned, dry the electronics thoroughly before reassembling and powering up. Distilled water doesn’t conduct electricity. Distilled water is a pure form of water that does not contain any dissolved impurities, due to which no free ions are present to conduct electricity. Let us know how it goes

Sure but use at least 95%+ IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) so no residue is left on the contacts.
If I was doing this job I would disconnect the battery first before the mother board cable. What do you think?
Might add “Optical” to drive title to save some confusion.
These name branded external drives are the worst possible choice. Always, always purchase a SEPERATE case/controller and hard drive. Again, why? Often the branded ones have the drive’s circuit board and the USB port imbedded in the same circuit board. If that circuit screws up you are often lost. The component solution (like a good hi-fi sound systems) allows you to easily take the drive out, if the USB part goes bad, and recover your software in another system or case. If the drive dies replace it or upgrade to SSD or larger capacity. A no brainer!
