Hello,
I posted a while ago a couple of pictures of the battery area of an Amiga 3000 I got (with a bit of luck ).
The battery leakage was not at all visible at a first sight but after snipping it out I discovered a small spot under it and noticed some solder joints of near components were slightly affected.
I cleaned with vinegar and alcohol, scraped a little bit the solder mask of the spot and then... well I had to shelve the project until yesterday.
I would like to clean this area up throughly and I have a couple of questions for anybody used todo this kind of work (I did a little soldering but not at all expert).
- I am having trouble reflowing a couple of joint that are on larger ground plane, in particular it took me a bit to clean the ground pin of the battery, also because of the corrosion.
What is the best practice? I try to add solder (and flux) n the joint on the back of the board and then use the solder pump, but I can't get all the solder out.
- Picture attached, I still have to fix a couple of solder points but my question here is: are there any other components I should be worried about? Like what about the caps near paula (C411, C412...), The solder joints seems dull.. also the components on the other side R470 and up (I did the first two).
Thanks in advance!
P.S.
This Amiga 3000 is actually a UX version, the serial number on the back of the case is CA0000411 made in california, but the board has a sticker with a different serial number. Anybody has info about those?
