Friends,

I am trying to repair the Battery Damaged PCB Traces in the Battery area of this PC-XT Clone motherboard.
As I do not have any other reference, I will highly apricate if you can give your keen eyes and experience and draw me a trace diagram on the attached picture to guide me.

It will be a great help and support.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Ignore those damaged sockets... they are replaced.

I want to restore my late father's 1st ever computer IBM ET&T PC-XT that he gifted me.
Hope you will be kind enough to guide and support me to restore his loving memory.

Looks like the traces are still visible at the camera level even if they don't pass current anymore 😀

Paint.net's Adjustments > "Auto-Level" function brings up what's there quite clearly, hopefully you can use that to rebuild the connections.
