I recent bought a spare or repairs PGM mobo with sound issues the seller was not experienced enough to fix. I figured it may be a couple of gouged traces or something similar but it looks like the battery that used to be there leaked rather a lot...
A few pics of the board are here.
Top Side
Top Side 2
Underside
What would be the best way to approach this?
I was thinking try and neutralise the area with a baking soda paste, clean it down with rubbing alcohol or something similar then kynar wire each trace back?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the lower right side of a PGM motherboard? (some of the traces have come clean off so I cant follow where they would have gone to/from)
Also would it be sensible to replace components? for example the switch located there is nice and greened up (also does not feel like its actually working correctly) along with the side connector's pins being green so with will probably be swapped but components like the chips and capacitors nearby would they need to be swapped out or just cleaned?
Basically any help would be great while I'm decent with a soldering Iron this will be the worst condition board I have actually tried to fix up (normally this like this I use as practise boards)
