Re: can't write to memory correctly after battery repair

Super thanks for the online diagnosis.  Based on your feedback I'm going to do this:

1) Pull the board, clean up, and test the surrounding traces

2) Replace the potentially fried chips via the rec'd approach with a socket vs. direct chip

3) Test and re-assemble.

While pulling this out I may also clean the key contacts as well as the knob contacts.

I've attached a couple photos verifying the corrosion that you mentioned as well as a spot where they repaired a broken circuit via a lead.

Thanks again - I'll post back updates here.

Best,
Adam
