    MV1A watchdog

    Hello, I have a faulty MV1A on my bench, which is in watchdog mode. It does this with every BIOS (original, Universal and Diagnostic) Controle lines of the bios look ok.

To me it seems that corrosion is wors under the foam. Also the underside of the battery is always covered by it. So to replace it you need...
