I ended up cleaning the IIci boards. With a toothbrush, cold water and a pinch of baking soda in each area where the leaks were.

One board actually started to output sound again, although not very loud. The rest all output video thru the motherboard video connector.

All powered off without problems.

By the way, is there some rule where all the RAM slots need to be filled before the motherboard video works properly? I can't remember...

Anyway, I'll try the "bathe-it-in-alcohol" technique next. Hooray for Safeway (only place I've ever seen with 99% concentration).

I guess if nothing changes, I'll set the boards aside until I get access to a surface-mount solder workstation.

Some of those caps are just too close together to replace with absolute confidence.
