Macintosh Classic battery leakage mess
Posted by: amedeo_68k on 2022-03-24 15:31:01
Hi, my friend Mac Classic had a battery leak, and I guess it happened long time ago. The logic board is really messed up.
Do you think there is any recover path?

Thank you.

Probably not worth repairing that board due to damage to inner layers and the extensive damage to vias/traces.

Oh. Right. I was not thinking at internal layers.

The corrosion is on both sides and the vias look rotten so I'd imagine inner traces may be damaged too.

Still, could be a good one for a parts harvest.
