    Performa 550

    So recently I saved a performa 550 from my works recycling facility, The machine it self is in excellent shape however the clock battery over the years seems to have leaked and corroded a nice little chunk of the logic board near the adb ports. I tried to clean it and maybe save it but it's a no...
