Nonsense - the A3k batteries tend not to leak as badly as the A4k ones, but they do leak.

@pierre
I've fixed the battery in my own A3k and in one from a remote friend. There have been numerous reports of other ppl here in the forum with damaged boards - if you'd bothered to read them. I've seen dozens of old PCs with the NiCd batteries and they ALL leak sooner or later.
How many A3ks have you checked to be sure that none leaks?? 100? 1000?

I called your statement nonsense because it is dangerously misleading. It means 'don't bother looking, there's no danger'. Some people might follow that lead and will end up with a severely damaged board. I think I made an important point and stand to it. Talking of rude ppl...  :roll:

That was pierre, not me - I'd never risc a precious A3k by stating their batteries wouldn't leak.
