[color=FF0000]Do NOT use baking soda on any circuit board!!![/color][/b]   :-o

Isopropyl Alcohol safely neutralizes leaked battery acid on the circuit board.  Use 100% alcohol with a toothbrush and brush all affected areas.  Then use 50/50 alcohol/water mixture to rinse the board.

If any components are affected, they must be replaced.  If you do not know how to replace components on a circuit board, let a qualified technician do it for you.

Hmm...haven't I stressed this with someone else's battery-leaking problem?
