One assumes all the producs of corrosion are salts .
Some however will be oxides and van be very conductive.
I've also seen new boards contaiminated with fungal materal
{assembled and washed in old mehieco} that had all manner
of seemingly intermittent problems until rewashed in clean
water and dried.

Well, something's interfering. I get a persistent B_CACHE failure on
startup.
It might be something like corrosion int the middle of a contact, if you
have any socketed chips. Or omsething like that.
