I will. And I've heard a tooth brush with a light dose of Tarn-x will do wonders on the connectors.


That's a bad damage to the CPU socket :(

You may want to completely remove the motherboard and wash it, dry it and the clean it with isopropyl alcohol as gertsy says, or acetone. The socket“s pins may be broken below, the same thing happend to me with an A501-like memory expansion, I will need to either replace the socket or solder the clock chip directly to the board. Take a look at Cosmo's blog, he has lots of examples and pictures of the cleaning and desoldering - resoldering process.

Good luck!!
