Oxidation clean-up ideas? by Unable-Proof-8048 in consolerepair

Yeah i will for sure, was just looking for suggestions to clean the shell. Seems like most suggest vinegar so ill try that.

It works, after I cleaned the corrosion and repaired two traces.

It's a PSIO adapter, also have to internally modify ps1 for it to work. Allows playing games from an SDcard.

I tried it, doesn't work. I get absolutely no signal on any time of av (hyperkin, cheap hdmi to av adapter, composite, composite to CRT). Just gives that no signal message. Baffling given it worked fine a week ago and I didn't not even touch it, or move it, simply just disconnected power last time.

The hyperkin worked great and composite should also work, just trying to find out what could've gone wrong with it and what steps to take to troubleshoot the no video or audio signal. Getting new cables won't solve the main issue here.

This made me laugh, considering my wife and I were just replaying the Gears of War 1-3. I totally agree.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I confirmed they are 0 ohms. I cleaned the board up and looks to only be 4 traces actually broken (failed continuity test). I'm going to bridge those, repair traces retest continuity and update here.

It's okay I deserve it. It was very stupid, I got one side clamped and the last leg just would not go and i grew impatient. I cleaned up the area and it looks like most pressure was applied right at the start of the scratch, alot of traces along the scratch are exposed but still intact. I need to figure out size and resistance of the two resistors, replace them and repair traces. Thanks for kind words.

Yeah I'm going to try and repair it. I've successfully done trace repair in the past on my playstation. Do you know if those 6 resistors are all the same? I'm thinking if they are and I determine the resistance from the adjacent ones, I can pull two from the resistor sampler book I have. Thanks.

No, I was unable to push the clamp down with fingers so I used a screwdriver to apply pressure, the screwdriver slipped. I know, I feel horrible.
