Commodore A501 Amiga RAM Expansion Battery Leakage Repair

YouTube
In case you are into guitar pedals you probably know: This particular model got quite a bit of YouTube hype through a video by JHS Pedals and the prices went up to hilarious amounts a year ago or so. It’s nothing special really, just a nice Tube Screamer variant. Prices are a bit more relaxed again these days. Couldn’t resist getting one for laughs when I saw the broken one for (relatively) cheap. #GetTheDamnBatteriesOut #InTheLabDoingStuff #BadMonkey #Tubescreamer #GuitarFX #Overdrive
In the lab, doing stuff. Battery corrosion repair on a guitar overdrive pedal I bought from eBay (to be fair, it was advertised as faulty and I got it for cheap). #GetTheDamnBatteriesOut #InTheLabDoingStuff #BadMonkey #Tubescreamer #GuitarFX #Overdrive

Was visiting a friend tonight and he wanted to show me some stuff he picked up recently. I noticed an Amiga 3000 sitting on the shelf although that wasn't what he wanted to show me... but I interrupted him and said that we needed to open the Amiga up before we looked at anything else. Good thing, too. The battery had started to leak but I'm pretty sure we got to it in time. I didn't even take time to snap a 'before' picture, I just grabbed the clippers and removed that thing.

At least it never leaked.
