Green corrosion on A2k motherboard
« on: March 17, 2017, 12:34:45 PM »
But its not on the battery area.  If you're looking down at the mobo, its on the bottom right area, close to where the mouse/joystick would be plugged in.    Is that normal?   Just brush it off I'm assuming.

Ok.  I'll look around for cleaner.  Just found it odd to have corrosion nowhere near the battery.

Also, if you look at the top of that floppy, I'm assuming this was all original.  So maybe you were right, some sort of liquid spill.
