Hello everyone, I bought this Schneider EuroPC which in the current state doesn't POST.
After opening it up, I noticed that there was a battery and that it leaked.
Here are shots of the motherboard
I tried my best to clean that mess but the computer still doesn't POST.
After hooking up a POST card, I noticed that the reset line was constantly on, but there's still some activity in there as I saw a code "04" and "24" popping up. But they only pop sometimes, which is weird.
Another thing to note is that the traces look in a rather good shape considering the leakage that have been happening there. Most of the components' legs are green and vias are green too, but that's it.
As simple as this computer looks, I'm not sure where to check, because the area of leakage is so massive and the traces look good enough.
