So I pulled out the Duo 230 today to test it's operation, and it chimes, screen comes on, then the speaker starts squealing and it shuts down with the smell of burned electronics. This started happening around the time the hard drive would spin up.
I removed the logic board and connected everything seperately and it still starts, but no hard drive activity, it just won't spin up.
I washed/scrubed the board with vinegar, rinsed with water, and then with 91% IPA and dried it. Still nothing...
There is a rotted via on the back/bottom side of the board right beneath C36, an aluminum electrolytic, and C36 looks like it's time for replacement due to the leakage present prior to the board wash. The caps near the modem and power ports look fine, no signs of leaking, but that doesn't always mean they are not bad.
Is C36 for the hard drive's power circuit?
