7100/66 - Battery blew up. Took out the motherboard, ruined case metal. Demanufactured 12/9/2008.
I had a battery that blew inside a 6100. The metal case and power supply got all rusted and there was acid and considerable brown crap all over the logic board. But I washed it all off with concentrated isopropyl alcohol and it works just fine. It really got into the built-in motherboard RAM, but I scrubbed all the rust off with q-tips and a toothbrush and the Mac, by every indication, is working fine. The metal is still all rusty but you can't see that from the outside.
