A nightmare day!

 

First I can only stay for an hour at Retro Reunited before getting called
away but still long enough to buy a Datacentre to put into a beeb but when I
got home I find all my machines have been attacked by mould due to some damp
getting into the workshop (not as bad as last time the "damp" was 3 feet
depp that time).

 

Anyway there are some pictures at http://z80homebrew.blogspot.com/

 

I've picked out the least worst and tried giving it a good dry out and a
through washing with Isopropyl alcohol but I just get the beeeeeeeeeeeep of
doom!

 

Any ideas what to look at first? Are there any particular parts of the
circuitry likely to be affected by damp? I've tried swapping the two 6522s
and removing all expansion ROMs
