Hi all,
Hoping you are well. I really want to get this 33 mHz Micronics motherboard working again. When I got it, the VARTA battery had leaked, and there was corrosion surrounding it. I let the corroded part of the board sit in vinegar, then rinsed with warm water and let it dry. I still get no luck, (board powers on, no activity with POST card inserted). I have confirmed the BIOS chips are good. Here is some more info on the board:
I have photos attached of what the board looks like right now. I have a multimeter but no experience using it. I have some experience soldering and can desolder/solder things if necessary. How should I go about getting this board to POST again? Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Shawn
