I've recently purchased a Neo Geo Pocket Color which had bad corrosion from acid. I've cleaned it all up and neutralized it etc and the system has been working fine but it seems that it only displays at the right colors / contrast for a short period of time. After a minute or two the contrast or color doesn't look quite right, almost like a capacitor problem or something.
Has anyone seen that behaviour before? Looking for some pointers - schematics would be nice but I guess they were never released?
EDIT: The corrosion was only located around the power input prongs, with a little corrosion on the same area on the opposite side of the board - ie. just around the common ground on the outer bottom edge of both sides of the board.
Could it be related to the trim pot? - that was heavily corroded and wont move.
