Picked up another iifx

So if course has some battery damage. So couple of questions…

Does it look like it can be repaired or should i look into a reload board? The rtc chip is done. I have spares. But another chip is toast and some legs are missing from another.

Another question is how can one tell the memory size? I was hoping to uograde my working iifx to more than 8 megs.

These RAM simms looks like 1Mb simms to me. 1Mb simms are not very rare. But simms with more Mb's are very rare.

Edit: I see in the video the the reset button is missing. Is a model used on various logic boards, so should be find easy.

So pulled the two bad chips and cleaned them. I will either need replacing or dremal into the top. Lots of broken or missing traces.. so still uncertain if i should reload this one?
