PB190 acid attack victim

Posted by: beachycove on 2016-12-26 06:29:38 Slacken the screws underneath?

Posted by: bibilit on 2016-12-26 06:38:44 You have got a small lock to remove the drive, if not, yes maybe try what Beachycove says.

Posted by: matax on 2016-12-26 06:54:20 I unlocked the slider and removed all three torx screws underneath

Posted by: bibilit on 2016-12-26 07:01:05 Remove the keyboard then and try to move the drive out.

Posted by: matax on 2016-12-27 04:20:27 Thanks it worked. Now I need to know how to remove the logic board in order clean all the leak. Any advice?

Posted by: matax on 2016-12-27 04:33:35 Never mind I took the logic board apart after posting the photos. Any advice on cleaning both the plastic and the circuits?

Posted by: bibilit on 2016-12-27 05:38:36 Will be hard to get rid of it anyway, had a 5300 like that, cleaned it a couple of times, in the end i swapped the casing with a better one. One of the battery connector is broken BTW.

Posted by: matax on 2016-12-27 05:58:06 The battery is dead and it leaked. The battery connector is unusable after a small clean and after a barely touch on the connector now I got only two out of five of them

Posted by: matax on 2016-12-27 06:12:48 No sign of life: I hear a strange noise like a scratching sound when I press the reset button or plug it to the power supply. The green light does still come on at times (not always)

Posted by: bibilit on 2016-12-27 06:19:24 Wash the board for a try.

Posted by: matax on 2016-12-27 06:22:30 I've already tried to clean with Isopropyl Alcohol. Please keep in mind that I don't know nothing about cleaning circuit  :b&w:

Posted by: bibilit on 2016-12-27 06:34:52 a good bath with soap and an old toothbrush, then a couple of days by a warm place...
