The failing circuit boards were extracted using deionized water which was analyzed using ion chromatography (IC). The result (see figure below) shows a high level of sodium and potassium. The rinse water was changed and the new circuit boards showed a significant reduction in sodium and potassium cations. The electrical shorting problem was also eliminated.
