I need you to recommend me a household solvent or liquid that is good for cleaning electronic boards. Remember, it cannot be corrosive nor industrial or branded, only household.

Ethyl alcohol (sometimes known as "denatured alcohol") does a great job and doesn't damage most of today's plastics that surround the electronics. It's available at most drug stores, too.
I've used it for projects at work and home.

You can use several things
-Electical contact cleaner which can be found at many shops with an automotive section
- Electronics cleaner which can be bought from radio shack aka The Source or some electronics repair shops.
- Ethyl Alcohol or Methyl Alcohol (make sure the device has been disconnected from all power sources for roughly 10 min)
- Lens cleaner may also work well.
- Soapy water can also be used, but the board will need sufficient time to dry.
I'm sure there's many other things that could be used, But I can't really think of anything else. I've used butane to clean some electronics parts before, but this can be VERY DANGEROUS and I really don't recommend it. WD-40 and rubbing alcohol shouldn't be used as can they leave a residue. All the stuff I've listed I have tried myself and find them work rather well.

After soldering on circuit boards, we used to use Everclear to clean the resin off the soldering points. That stuff is like 190 proof white lightnin', and I wouldn't really want to drink it. It does clean the boards nicely, though. Any liquor store sells it. I think. Used to, anyway.

you may desire to purchase an "RF modulator". It has the yellow (video) and purple and white (R and L audio) enter jacks, and an RF (coax screw connector) output. It converts the output of the DVD participant into an RF sign on an unused channel--the two Ch.3 or Ch.4, finding on the place you reside. They value under $50, perchance under $30. EDIT @: "wowbango" that is an "AV to RF adaptor", no longer any incorrect way around

WD-40 works like a charm. i know it is meant for squeaky doors, but it also works for electronics too.
