Subject: Re: Battery leagake - recovery - still problems

Problem solved. IC30 has been replaced as well (leftmost on board).
BTW, before replacing it I noticed that the leds which where on,
were the Write and bank 6. If you check the schematics, you'll find
that they both connect through the same rail to IC31's leg number 6.
(pin 11 of connector CN10, "D06" rail on KLM367 schematics). Very
small degree of corrosion and acid was found under this IC as well.

Cheers !
