Repairing corroded PM2

Hi all,

Have a PM2 that I inherited that has some battery corrosion on the board. Took it apart and cleaned with ISO, but it looks like some of the traces are pretty damaged and I may be missing the R25 resistor.

Should I bother trying to repair the traces with a conductor pen and soldering on a new resistor?

Right click on the image and copy the forum link and paste it and the picture will appear here.

That link doesn't work.

Links will need to be repaired by copper wires. If corrosion made it under the keypad side, generally its stuffed.

Really not worth the time to repair on a one off, I must have repaired over 300 of them by now over 10 years and I can tell if its worth repairing it or not just from looking at it.
