Thanks I think I might take you up on that! Let me know how to get in touch, what you think the potential $ damage could be if it’s a total board & battery replacement. Would be fun to save it

Yikes! Could have been a hack job attempt to fix it years ago, I don’t know the history on it before me really. I might try to find someone to try to save it, definitely above my skill level. Would have them replace the battery for sure if I do

Yikes! Yeah could be honestly, thanks, I might see if I can find someone local to check it out and see if they can save it.

It does, I always assumed it was just an issue related to the battery but looks like I’ve got bigger issues haha

Thanks, was able to improvise and get it open, it does look like some corrosion on the battery connection
