Hannah Checker got wet, now it wont go past the C1 step... Tried cleaning the corrosion

Might be a goner. Need some more research. @StatelineReefer didnt you pull one apart that you had that got wet?
Any ideas or tips?
 
Kept fiddling with it.

Used baking soda and a brush to get it clean. Rubbing alcohol. And... It appears to be working ?!

New batch of reagents tomorrow. So will throw a test in there and see.

But salt corrosion inside pins had to fix that.

Seems to have worked. Will keep y'all posted .

Trying to document since I couldn't find **** on what to do.
