Just a quick question guys.
I've got two Commodore PC-50 386 era machines here, neither run and it's very clear why. Around every SMD electrolytic nearby components/solder/traces have been attacked by corrosion. The caps are replaceable - but I was concerned about the damage, each one was like a little NiCD battery. All of the caps I tested after removal showed as open circuit on my ESR meter.
Have others seen this? I knew they leaked but I haven't seen corrosion because of it before.
