zatanaz, you DO NOT wash motherboards with soap!!! the only reason boards are washed after manufacturing is to remove the flux from the soldering process. flux can be water soluable or have to use a chemical bath/spray to remove it. to remove static, just ground the board to a metal object. i've worked in the electronics manufacturing industry so i know what i'm talking about.

Please, if the video isn't working then either return the cards/computer if possible, or just buy new cards/motherboads. I haven't found your other posts yet so I'm sure what the original problem was. But soap would be the worst solution to the problem.
If you have a major dust problem, then canned air (air compressors are a no-no also) or a electronically filtered vacume cleaner will work, I use both... I remove one of the rear fans off the computer case, attach the vacume cleaner hose to the outside of the case (over he hole where the fan was) using a case fan tunnel adaptor I got off a junked Apevia case and electrical tape, turn the vacume on so air is pulled out of the case and into the vacume, and start blowing canned air to loosen the dust so it can be pulled out into the vacume and not settle somewhere else inside the computer. And make sure the case is still grounded while doing it as a precaution.
But please, no soap....

You don't short the board when it's switched on, you do it with everything off and unplugged. As for washing the board, it' entirely conceivable if it's dried properly that it will work, initially, but it will damage the board in the long run.

You shouldn't need to do anything, boards don't slowly build up static over time. They will ground when you connect them to power (even if the system is off, as long as the mains is turned on)
