I recently acquired a Sega ST, She is like new, but the prior owner let her sit ...with batteries installed. There is minor acid damage to the memory chip area. I tried to install a new socket and NVRAM, but it didn't work. My soldering looked fine to my untrained eyes, but non op now. (She was mostly working before.)
I want to send the board out to be fixed and tested. Close to Columbus Ohio would be best, but flexible.
RECOMMENDATIONS?

Quoted from aerobert:

Acid has probably eaten away traces. I'd swap it for a rottendog card to get it up and running quickly and repair the original on the side. Or have it repaired by TNT.

TNT it is! TY for the referral.

Quoted from Bax1:

There are a lot of board repair guys on here. I have one of mine over at Gameroom Service Jerry Clause.

Where is Gameroom Service? Do you have a phone number? I called TNT today (3 times) and it goes to voicemail and then says mailbox is full.

Hey all. I sent the board to Chris Hibler. He received it yesterday, and has already confirmed receipt, and indicated that he will keep me in the loop as repair is made.
