I have several motherboards in various states - many functional, one or two are probably total losses and will become parts donors. I also lost an A4000 to a leaky Varta battery - I thought I'd removed it. I was sadly wrong. I think it's repairable. The deconstruction is almost complete, then the cleaning and reconstruction can begin. And yet another one is a Commodore Colt - it _may_ be repairable, but I'm going to get some practice on a simpler repair first. Those 90s NiCd batteries have destroyed a lot of hardware. -ethan
