clean damage by soaking board in vinegar then rinse & dry
repair damaged tracks if your handy with a soldering iron

I think this one is a gonner! having cleaned the board the plastic started peeling right left and centre!

some of the green debris is tooo stubborn and i just cant remove it!

some of the tracks on the pcb look black as oppose to copper coloured! i'm not confident enough with a soldering iron im affraid!

so if anyone has a scorpion 4 for sale that i can have quickly put your offers in!
