Last week i took a look at my Chaintech 486SPM LINK that i had put aside years ago due to not being able to get it working , i noticed two things.
1 there is some corrosion where the barrel battery used to be
2 there is one pin of the bios chip that is damaged and not making contact .
No wonder it did not work 😒 .
Question 1: what is the best way to neutralise and remove the battery goo? (vaguely remember vinegar but i'm not sure)
The annoying part is that the goo is also inside those 2 tiny holes.
Question 2: the damaged bios pin is missing the smaller part of the pin. what is the best way to fix it ?
