How should I handle wet PCBs?

A batch of PCB got wet in warehouse due to roof linking. Too terrible to shoulder the lost. How can I do to rescue these wet PCBs? Or to minimize the damage?

The best solution is to dry it by wind and then sunshine.
Clean PCBs with high-purity alcohol if available. High-purity alcohol can dilute water and promote ventilation.
Test them before using in case of any residual water.

Anyway, the stability of the PCB is impossible to recover as before, but they can work. After all, they have been damped. If they pass a wet test before selling, things will be better.

Who controls the process control block(PCB)?

Recently, I have learnt about kernel and find a question that who controls the process control block(PCB)?The kernel or the process itself? Does it differ in different platform (windows/Linux)? So far, I know PCB is controlled in hardware, but I can’t get to the right answer.

How can I go about making temporary test connections in PCB while prototyping without soldering?

I recently ordered some PCB bits from a new supplier to assemble a widget. I want to make temporary connections between different PCBs, but am not convinced I want to solder and then desolder and resolder wires while I am testing and prototyping. Is there any tips for doing that?
