3lectr1c's Laptop Collection - CTX EzBook 800

CTX EzBook 800

I bought this laptop working, but when I took it apart, I found the varta barrel battery it had inside had leaked pretty badly. Unfortunately, after removing it and cleaning the board, it no longer powered on. I traced the issue to a connector that had bad solder joints as a result of corrosion, but every repair attempt I tried only made it worse. I just need a donor board.

The display hinge mounts also blew out at some point in this process.
