Welcome back Darren,
You didn't mention if you replaced the battery. I replaced mine with a rechargable phone battery encased in plastic from Radio Shack. The wire leads are soldered to the old battery pads (observe polarity) and the new one just lays on the motherboard. You probably know this already, the voltage of the new must match the old, the mAh rating is flexable.
If you check the motherboard from time to time to ensure the corosion has been halted, all should be well.
