Amiga 2000 Main board cleaning
« on: August 08, 2019, 03:25:00 AM »
Hello.
I am looking to fix a mother board that had a leaky battery.
I have used Alcohol and Vinegar on it already.
It still has some green on it.
Do I need to just scrub it more or what?
Thanks.

I still have a lot to check. I do not know for sure just yet. The battery I removed looked fairly new.

Ugh, I guess it is getting to be Dremel time.

This board does not have any Amiga Chips or 68000 CPU.

I do have a lot of pictures and am looking to post them on my blog.

The copper traces are shiny and still needing to remove some sockets.

I had to stop and fix my De-solder Unit. The old handle is trying to break up.
JB Weld looks like it is holding it together.

Ugh, I need more money to fix the traces.

@thebajaguy
My working A2000 needs more testing.
The corroded spot is more localized.
I have put Vinegar on the spot a couple times and let dry on its own.
Wednesday night, I need to clean it again and see how bad it is.
Maybe only three lines are bad.
I still need to check all ports.

I cleaned it to this point.
I think the Green is gone from the battery leak.

Getting the frost off of it is another challenge.
