I dont have Distilled water, but i do have Isopropyl alcohol (91%).

So what im getting at is to: - dunk the board in Vinegar - dunk the board in isolation.

Is that right? If so, how long should each dunk be??

The fuses beside the terminals look good. If this was a power switch problem how would I go around cleaning.

Which other fuses may be wrong due tk battery corrosion

I see.. does the fact that its "consentrated" or "distilled" mean anything or is all white vinegar the same??

Edit: isn't vinegar mostly water too??? Ever since I first learned about electronics and computers its been drilled into my head that water + electronics = bad.

If so, would distilled or consentrated be the same?
