My newly purchased Jokerz has a few CPU board issues, including this one: found hack job wires on the back, plastered down with scotch tape which I have removed. One of the wires was either purposefully cut or fractured somehow - see red arrow. The machine appears to be functioning ok other than battery holder issues which I am working on (leakage / corrosion on terminals causing "Factory Settings" message on booting every time. Have neutralized the corrosion with vinegar and alcohol and am installing a remote holder).

Is it best to leave these wires alone, remove, or do something else? These kinds of "repairs" are very aggravating.
