So just a friendly reminder to cut out or unplug and remove those aging parcels of death attached to your vintage stash..
Battery corrosion claims another victim from my collection.
Rotted the pentium chip clean off the board. Even if my soldering skills were first class, look at those pads, those traces, those veers.... and why suspend the processor over a hole with heatsinks either side of the board like that?. Asking for trouble with those traces if you ask me.
Now to pray for my 110ct and 210cs in the stash..
Both had batteries removed earlier in their storage life but have issues after being stored with the corroded unit.
