Subject: Re: [PolySix] just got a junker...

If it was me I would have bought a brand new assembled Kiwisix to replace the damaged pcb + add new features as a bonus. There is a Kiwisix guide that seems to explain most work, but still you need some skill and there will probably be trouble down the road to deal with...

Contrary to what you say the battery clearly has already leaked, just not
as bad as with many other cases.
The greenish residue around the vias and IC31 legs is a clear sign, so are
the dark spots on the large trace near the battery.

You should remove the battery at once and give the board a thorough
cleaning. Perhaps the board still can be saved.
