I took my old workhorse SE/30 out for a nostalgic look the other day. Took the back off to make sure nothing was amiss, and the little 3.6V 1/2AA battery had gone kablammo. The acid left a big rust/burn mark on the underside of the chassis and floppy box.

Any chance I can clean this board up and get a working SE/30 back? I had a backup machine, and the HD was fine, but the acid ate the positive tip in the battery holder, and I'm afraid the floppy and the caps, chips, ROM and PDS might be fried too.

Advice?
