I picked up a DEC VR201 display today, it was leaking a highly corrosive
brown liquid. So corrosive it burned my skin painfully / immediately and
I had to wash hands thoroughly. Anyone come across a display that leaked a
corrosive liquid like that? The display was stored in its original box, so
I don't think the brown liquid was from something stored on top of it, but
I don't know for sure.
Electrolytic capacitor? That's about the only component I can think of you'd find
in a monitor that might contain corrosives. (Batteries also do, but a VR201 is not likely
to contain one.)
