I agree with ianj (and Cory). And when I tried to use a Kanga indefinitely it was just flatly impossible given the need to interface with modern networks (of which I am not the ad…

Totally possible, but slow. When I interned at the local newspaper office where I wrote articles on a Mac mini powered by a G4 processor (it was the original MacMini from 2005.) Wh…

Well... remove the corrosion and see what happens.  If the vias or traces are bad then that poses a bigger problem.  But again - my board did not originally have video, and washing…

Thanks! I'm sure there is something similar. Scrubbing Bubbles for sure is copyrighted and therefore is imported directly from the U.S. That makes the price. But what to do w…

It's the ammonium chloride doing most of the stripping. Got alcohol (methanol) and a benzene also doing their thing. And a Base (probably a Calcium based lye) adding to the strippi…

Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride ... 0.096% Octyl decyl dimethyl ammonium chloride ... 0.072% Dioctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride ... 0.036% Didecyl dimethyl ammonium chlo…

I'll write the ingredients down - maybe you can find something similar.

Ok, I'm thinking what to do. Hmm...

One if these three bottles is sold for $46,- here in Austria and Germany via Amazon.

No... I don't know about in Austria... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HY51IIM/

Hmm, how to repair vias?

Scrubbing Bubbles is an expensive ($ 20 to 90) bathroom cleaner !?

I did some more cleaning above U4 (after taking the pic), but these corrosions are really small and I should be an ant to find them all.

Then it's a board problem for sure.  You need to clean the remaining corrosion (pretty much broadly the area between the power connector and the PCMCIA enclosure.  I again recommen…

Yes I reseated and used contact spray.

Yea those vias are likely rotted out...

The short story is that I don't know... I will have to look over all of this but even then that's super weird.  I assume you've tried reseating the cable a bunch of times. One thi…

Continuation: So I took apart the Kanga and found a small PRAM battery leaking (see pic). But where is the big damage? You can see both sides of the logic board in high resolution…

I was challenged to up the ante and use my LCIII for a couple of days. With Mulberry, BBEdit and MS Office I was able to work quite happily - although I did later run into some dif…

Yes I've already cleaned boards with leaking batteries (PowerBook and Amiga), but their damage was visible when I opened the case. This Kanga is really new to me, shipped from NY.…

You should not have a PRAM battery in the machine if it is not working properly (I forgot what this thread was about).  Yes your batteries are in surprisingly bad shape lol.  Well …

BTW: I tested the Kanga again with an original Kanga boot CDR and it seems, the Kanga is booting to desktop, because it's reading very long from the CD-Rom and then sits there wait…

I didn't dare this, because I was unsure if this will work properly. Hmm.

I created a topic about that battery and mentioned the polarity issue...  I put the batteries back in their original place beneath the speaker panel but putting it in the HD case i…

Continuation of the story... As I have to do more testing with the "sleeping beauty" (the Kanga), I created two NEW working backup battery packs mixing the old PowerBook 3400 &amp…
