I'm wondering what was your worst battery corrosion on the motherboard and yet it still works?

I'll post some pictures later. But I usually don't have much luck. If there is a bit more corrosion, then it most likely doesn't work 🙁

Requests are also possible... /msg kixs

Lost about half a square inch of traces on a 486 motherboard. Had to redo them by hand with wirewrap wire. Fortunately it was pretty low density and low speed (around the keyboard controller and connectors) so it ended up working after repairs.

Unfortunately that was years ago so I really don't have any pics. 🙁

The only corrosion I've experienced on anything was on the mobo of a Packard Bell 486 computer I no longer have. The corrosion was only limited to a corner of the motherboard, and it still worked after I removed the battery and cleaned all the acid off.

Here's a pic:
