ScuzzBlog: Diaries November 2017 Entry 5th November 2017: Post: 2 To quote Elton John - Someone saved my life tonight Well that of an Amiga 500Plus. I had thought I had removed all the batteries from A500+ machines here but little did I know that one was still lurking in a machine I had. What was worse is that inside the computer was also an A501 and that too had a battery. And so having simply set out to take some pictures to aid a forum poster, I finished up salvaging the Amiga and saving the computer from a slow death from battery leakage. A big thanks to Amiga Org cus in truth without the thread I would have overlooked this computer. I had no idea what was lurking below the shielding Yikes.. That's a surprise Hadn't expected that What is worse is there is a battery also in the A501 RAM expansion Lets hope I can clean this mess up First I need to remove the battery Don't try this yourself but all I do is very very gently rock the battery back and forth till it snaps off I have seen much much worse OK Vinegar and Baking Soda First to clean and second to neautralise The picture I came to originally take First pass at cleaning Second pass at cleaning Looks fine Fingers crossed. Will leave over night Dreadful little things Need to give the whole board a clean The A501 looks a lot worse Revision 8A Pass 3 on the cleaning and time to leave the board and clean the rest tomorrow
