Repair Commodore Amiga 3000 Motherboard with Battery leakage

There was once a motherboard of an Amiga 3000/25 devastated of the Battery acid where missings all the socketed components and others are unsoldered and recovered for other things.

The situation was not exactly the best one, in other words … was going into the box of spare parts.

I made the impossible, i have cleaned, scraped and rebuilt many tracks of the pcb corroded by the battery acid and i must say that with lot of patience i have repaired the motherboard giving a new life to this Amiga 3000/25 that he had no many chance to come back to work

    Wow, well done xAD,

    This has inspired me to try & repair an Amiga 3000T I had boxed up when moving.
    Sadly I did not know about the leaky battery when I packed it.
    There is a 5-1/2″ drive tray that hides it from view on the Tower model.

    I can only hope I will be as fortunate as you were.
