So it doesn't actually get to the insert disk purple screen?

It is never good when an internal battery leaks. This is going to happen more and more to retro fans as the batteries in our hardware gets ever older. I was thinking the other day about the battery backup in the SNES catridges and wondering if my SNES collection is still OK. I need to check those carts.

Back to the Amiga. First thing to do if the battery has leaked is to remove the battery and then clean up any left over leakage with some cleaner. The best thing to use to clean it with is an isopropyl alcohol solvent. Although I normally use carburetter cleaner as it is just as good. I squirt some into the cap of the container and then use cotton buds to clean the PCB.
