Cleaning a motherboard??

hi ppl!!

I have this weird problem with my laptop, it doesn't boot.
now I won't go into details. But the problem has been persistent for the past few months and after trying everything I have narrowed down the problem to the mobo.
From what I have read around the internet it seems that dust or a bad solder is causing the problem. Some ppl can bend their mobo to fix their laptop temporaryly..:?:

So help me guys. Any experience with cleaning and fixing mobos?


Shukriya!
