@hkz What happened to the missing pins? Were they mechanically damaged? Or were the pins destroyed by a leaking NiCd battery?

@ShinjiLE corrosion of unknown origin, suspected soft drink spilled on the arcade cabinet

@hkz Yeah that is also a good reason especially for consumer device near to customers. But this sounds also you got a good chance to fix it if there a no further destroyed pins or visa.

@ShinjiLE eh hopefully, but I'll know when I have finished patching the most evident damage. Weirdly enough, the PCB seems in very good shape, but lots of the ICs have corrosion, milder than this one, but still visible.
Except for the oscillators, those are in ugly state.
