I saw the batteries are there, and I saw a bit of discoloration, but nothing like some of the pics I saw on some of the repair posts I looked at today on this forum. It seems like the board is intact, and the discoloration is in a relatively small area, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed in regards to the chips and traces that live in the affected area. I'll give it a good survey for continuity and see what's what. I will surely be removing those batteries as the first order of business, in any case...
I know this isn't the right place for a question like this, but is there a way to neutralize acid on boards? I can clean it, but is there some chemical that will prevent further damage to the interior of the board?
Thanks very much,
Ryan
