Remember that not everything is soluble by alcohol water works better for a lot of stuff and won't harm the electronics as long as you make sure it's dried out before you flip the power switch. Linus Tech Tips has a video on using a dishwasher to clean old keybords ;)

You've just burnt out the capacitors in the power unit, this is a common issue with old computers, you'll need to get some replacement caps from the Retroclinic, fairly easy fix.

@@HatStand1000 epic thank you mate yes after I tried turning it on a few hours I found out this is a common thing 😂 and it’s highly advised to change the rifa caps before trying to turn the console on 🙈🥴 lol hopefully the caps arrive soon! 😄

If you look at the key switches they are pushed through the metal chassis and have flanges to stop them going through the plate, they then soldered in the PCB so desoldering is the only option. Just like the composite video BNC you removed in the 1st video, if the nut was on the inside then it has to go out through the rear.

I still think probably swap ic69 & ic3 (the two 6522s) and probably deoxit on the keyboard connector is the likely next steps
