hi,

I think i have found the residue of alkaline battery leakage onto a
malfunctioning circuit board ?
could this cause problems ?

Yes,electrolytes and their salts ARE conductive.

what is best way to clean a circuit board ?

denatured alchohol ?

thanks for any advice,
rob



for an -alkaline- leak,you need to use a weak acid,like white
vinegar;inexpensive and readily available.
then rinse with distilled water,dry thoroughly.That's where your alcohol
wil help get rid of moisture.
