<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">Distilled water only - never use tap water. You should be able to buy a bottle at the local service station.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">Take the old parts off before you wash with the vinegar (and one type of vinegar is better than another, but I can't remember which). Wash liberally, and I used a soft toothbrush to scrub a bit.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">Depending how spread it is, it may be worth replacing every chip touched - otherwise you could be looking for faults for an eternity - I did. Everything was fine but in the end some chips just weren't performing as well as they should - and all had been touched by the battery base.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial">Good luck!</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco"> Me again. =) Thanks for the help so far, next questions:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco"> I've gotten the response that vinegar is what is needed to help clean</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco">up corrosion, specifically to neatralize it. Is that applied </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco">liberally, moderately, what?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco"> Should that be straight, or in some ratio with water? Will tap water</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco">be okay, if it does need to be diluted?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco"> Afterwards, just rinse with water, and dry? Again on the tap water</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco">question.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco"> Also, I was wondering, will it hurt any of the components, do I need</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco">to be careful with it, or can I just go to town? =)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco"> Lastly, since I will be replacing some parts (and traces/pads), would</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco">it be better to use the vinegar before or after I have taken any old</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco">parts off?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Monaco"> Thanks for any pointers you can supply, I'll get this thing working</FONT>
