Hi all,

my battery has leaked on my scorpion 4 mpu causing a lot of damage, if i clean this up will it be ok?

Do i need to replace the battery in order to play the machine?

If i need a new mpu can someone please suggest someone to buy on from as im new to all this.

Thanks

Ben

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!
