Does anyone have the schematics for the Whitechapel
Workstation. I'm trying to 'rescue' a WCW that has
the dreaded leaked battery.
I seem to recall using vinegar on ours, which worked well enough - but as a
word of caution, be careful around the tops of any gold/ceramic ICs as it's
really easy to remove the inked IC markings too!
The WCW wont boot, although the disk drive and fans
spin up OK, the front on/off button doesnt function.
Although I can hear a faint click on the PSU
'controller' from the small relay.
We had a couple with exactly the same symptoms, but fixing them (beyond
cleaning the corrosion and removing the batteries) got put on hold in the hope
that schematics would turn up one day. If you do happen to find them, or work
out what the fault you have is, do report back :-)
cheers
