Today I opened up my Nan Tan FMA3300A to attempt to fix the damage from my attempted recapping of the DC-DC board (ripped pads, capacitor put in backwards, dumb mistakes overall) from ~6 months ago. I've learned a lot since and can actually solder decently now (still doesn't start, TI TL494 + resistor are shot from that capacitor I believe)
I've removed the NiCd battery a while ago, but the corrosion is now back, and it's worse. My only conclusion is that it's gotten so deep into the ground plane and is now attacking the other internal layers of the board as well.
What could I do to prevent further damage? I've been thinking of bathing half of the board in vinegar, however that would most likely bring even more trouble to the table.
