Matt sorry to hear the issue and yes indeed lots of risk these days.
I was going to say homebrew a replacement. Without that Da$% leaky battery.
It shouldn't be to bad. I have had to do that for other HP gear like the 3335 sig gen. It's great when it comes back alive.?
Ok caution. If the leakage from the battery hit the motherboard?its seriously has to be cleaned up down to scraping the board. My experience?was with the actual regulator board and the?stuff conducts very well.
I thought I had it cleaned at least visually but had super strange results. Thats when I discovered trace to trace leakage was the issue.
Digging out the traces carefully cleared the?issue completely. The stuff even gets under resistors.
