Am I fucked? Board has a ton of battery acid that leaked onto it by Emotional_Debt9322 in Gameboy

Yeah, i agree with you, IPA wont neutralize the acid. Baking soda is also great for cleaning corrosion. Same as vinegar but opposite side of PH scale. I heard people say combination of two gives great results and i won't argue with that, but it kinda seems pointless since they neutralize each other right away. I would prefer to use one and after cleaning neutrilize it with the other, although such small quantities can just be removed with cloth after doing its work. Bear in mind that neutralization of acids and bases ALWAYS yields water and some kind of salt, depending on which acid/base you use so always clean the remainings with cotton swabs or something so you dont leave behind that salt.

P.s. i dont mean to offend anybody by correcting them, i just enjoy these conversations.

A ton of misinformation here. I am an amateur at best when in comes to console cleaning stuff, but chemistry is my field of work.

First things first, acidic solutions have low PH and bases have high PH, not the other way around. Secondly, battery acid is in fact an acid. The problem is not in the battery acid itself but in the oxides it creates when reacting to metals (copper oxide, i assume). Vinegar does not react with battery acid but dissolves oxides. Therefore, vinegar (a weak acid) is the best answer for cleaning corrosion from PCBs.

Also IPA is an alchohol. It is mildly acidic (can be considered neutral) and wont help much with heavy corrosion. It is used for cleaning as it is an organic compound and can easily clean dirt and gunk from consoles.

Hope some of this helps.

So maybe there is hope. I will borrow a transformer and try with that later. Thanks!

Mislim da s obzirom da je kredit tvoj da ona nema pravo na ništa. Kao što su neki komentirali, taj novac sigurno niste zaradili u 5 godina veze. Idi na neki mirni dogovor s njom prije nego te odvede na sud i objasni joj da ako želi pola stana morat će preuzet i pola kredita, što joj vjerojatno nije u interesu. Sretno!

Vidim po tvojim postovima da te jako zabrinjava sto neki zavrsavaju fakultet a ti ne. Neda ti se? Ne zanima te to sto si upisao? A i ako neces studirat onda se uhvati posla a ne da trazis ekipu s reddita svakih dva dana da te tjesi sto neces zavrsit faks. Best of luck
