My A4000 came out of the household of an aging smoker, who was losing his
tests of grey hair. Not only did the machine smell (a lot!), it was also
coated with tar and other airbourne substances, into which his hair had stuck.
Then there was the coffee and dead flies in the keyboard.
In any case, I and a mate stripped the machine down as thoroughly as possible,
then proceeded to use a brush to wipe the dust off the PCBs and remove the
sticky film with some kind of clinical alcohol and tops (the kind you put in
your ear). The case was put in the shower, can't remember whether we used
anything to rub it, but I suppose that steel wool would be fine in the case of
metal parts.
Ah yes, we washed and scrubbed the case like you would with any dirty plate in
the kitchen sink.
If it stinks after this treatment, I'd have no idea what to do next.

Does the same as the system call of that name.
If you don't know what it does, don't worry about it.
