| 535155 | 2007-03-23 00:32:00 | The machines were still going fine but I decided to remove all the batteries from after reading about the issue, 3 out of 4 batteries had leaked but they all got removed, I just want to clean the boards and get the green residue off and neutralise it so no further damage is done |

Be careful, it is highly flammable. After cleaning I apply a small amount of WD40 using a tiny paint brush (the type your children use to paint in books) to keep the air off the exposed tracks which have probably had the solder resist removed by the corrosive battery fluids. | zqwerty (97) | ||
