How bad was the battery leak?  You've removed & reseated all the custom chips?  Please tell us it was 100% dry from its adventure through the dishwasher (and that you didn't use "heated dry"), before powering it on!  :shocked:

I would remove all accessories and every expansion board, and make sure you're connected to a working display.  Does the "Insert Workbench" logo appear when you turn on the power?

I've heard of it. None too good for metal contacts for chips. I would clean and reseat everything.

I've done it with keyboards here at the office.  Toss a bunch of them in the dishwasher in the break room when they get too cruddy.  Works pretty well, although if you use the heated dry it cooks them dead, 100% of the time.  Also just a pinch of detergent, anything more than that and it'll bleach the keys and leave them streaky (at least, that's what happens with those generic black Dell keyboards).  Set them in front of a fan for a couple days, flipping them every few hours, to dry.

If OP wasn't super-careful on those above two matters, his board is probably dead (err, deader than it already was, anyway).

For motherboards I use QD Electronics Cleaner, or some similar-type spray.  Never thrown one of those into the wash.  Yet.  :D

I haven't any expansion boards or any extra cards.The insert workbench logo does not appear at the start.Just grey or blue screen.Also drives lights are always on and power light also is always on without flashing.I heard from someone that I have to push the custom chips one by one.

What version of Kickstart do you have installed?  A quick google search for Amiga boot colors can give you some more information:

Could you post close-up pics of the battery area?

Even though the angle of the photo doesn't show it, the corrosion seems to have reached up near pin one.  You could pull the CPU and examine the sock et.  

I have one that I had to replace the socket on that had similar damage.
