will baby powder ruin the inside of my mpc 2000? / high mois

okay, so I'm doing some customizing, cleaning, dusting, and diagnostics, inside of my MPC 2000, alright, Now,....I Am trying to keep it healthy, cool looking on the inside and out, and I'm trying to keep it like I want it, running healthy, while being in great condition, taken care of, clean and looking awesome in the inside and out of the entire machine. I am an electronics expert, it's what I do etc. However, there is one idea I just came up with while diagnosing, customizing, and cleaning my mpc. it is, to lightly coat the inside of my machine with Baby Powder. I don't know if it will ruin my mpc because I'm not certain if it conducts electricity or if it gets moisture in it that the baby powder will then "Cake-Up" and then...conduct the electrical currents moving in and around it. So I need to know, should I sprinkle BABY POWDER...LIGHTLY...throughout the entire MPC 2000? because there is quite alot of high (Moisture) humidity floating around here where I live because it is pretty hot outside. Also, there is some dirt and debris when I open my windows in my house and it easily gets dusty in my house as well. Because I live right beside a road, and my dogs outside stay stirring up dirt, dust, and debris from my yard. anyways some help, advice, and suggestions would be of course greatly appreciated......

I thank you all in advance for your time and efforts in this matter and God Bless you all...PEACE!...


PS: I also would rather have baby powder in my mpc 2000 instead of dust, dirt, and rust and stuff etc. in my mpc.

Other than making your 2000 smell good, that is a terrible idea putting baby power in your 2000 MAN! I've been to 5 different countries in the past 10 years with my 2000XL and still no signs of rust (touch wood ).
If you are paranoid about moisture or plan on making beats in a sauna, You can tape a couple silica gel packs (Desiccant packets) to the inside of your 2000.

if you are an electronics pro... you would know that coating electronics is a terrible idea. It would act like a blanket and not allow the heat to escape. That is precisely the reason you just cleaned the dust out of the inside.... so why would that seem like a good idea?

silica gel packs taped is what I would suggest if you really demand on having something there...

you should already understand that dust, dirt and debris on electronics conduct static electricity which is not a good thing.

Humid air does not mean that there is liquid water on your MPC. Modern electronics are manufactured with a conformal coating to protect the circuity. It will be fine if you do not get it wet. I would doubt that your MPC is drawing enough moisture to become wet unless you place it in or get liquid on it.

I would not put silica gel inside the MPC. Desiccants attract moisture.

On second thoughts, that is very true... I will say though that I keep silica gel packets in one of my padded cases that I use for bringing stuff to shows etc..

No baby power, eh? So I suppose putting a diaper on it would not be a good idea either?

I meant it as a joke hense the making beats in a sauna.

Baby powder is not conductive, at all, even wet, I know, Ive tried, but it will trap heat like a ****. Don't do it man, if I were you, I would keep the windows closed and get an air purifier(not humidifier) to trap all that dust and moisture. Also, get into the habit of covering it when its not in use.

we should have just let him do it and asked for pics ... I mean we cant be nice all the time can we?

It is not conductive per se but will hold a static charge.
