LC III Corrosion

0xABE

6502
Just bought an LC III, popped it open and saw corrosion from the PRAM battery. It was worse than I expected and the battery mount/case broke away from the motherboard when I attempted to open it to remove the battery. I spent an hour+ cleaning with qtips and rubbing alcohol. Attached are before and after pics. I’ll have to find a new battery case. I already have fresh batteries ordered.

Are there any other chemical agents that I could try to remove the corrosion?

I think I see exposed copper on the motherboard. What should I do about that?
