Just joined the list as I just acquired a used TRS80 Model 100. Of course it's not working, so I just wanted to first ask for some advice. I have been reading info at Club100. Basically, I feel I need to buy some stuff at Club100. First and foremost a new battery, which is highly recommended. Also expansion RAM (since none has been installed), probably the power supply (although maybe premature). But probably better cost wise to get everything right away (shipping costs!). Anyhow, opening it up though I see that this thing obviously had batteries left in it and there is dry acid (whatever that is) about that general area on the board. My concern is that that might be enough damage that there's no way to recover it. Or maybe cleaning that area up might be fine. What is recommended for cleaning up battery acid, btw. Thanks for any suggestions!
