The A2000 is a tank and if a leaky battery ruins it, the leak was really bad as they are mostly the only big box Amiga to survive a leaky battery.  Sounds like it needs traces and or sockets replaced.  I would suggest you use the board for spare parts (the chips) and just get a nice working undamaged A2000 motherboard.  Make sure you always check the NiCad batteries in the Amiga's that have them!  As this will continue to happen if it hasn't already....

I recently got a A2000 for free, that was sitting in someones shed.  The machine looks unused and was complete in box.  It looks brand new.  Battery leaked and ruined the motherboard. I tried so hard just as you did to resurrect it but in the end it did not want to work.  Bought a replacement Rev 6 board off a forum member for $60 and all is good...  Not even worth it unless you are an expect in such repairs!
