Good evening, after my complete nightmare of a machine, I ordered a scorpion 5 board and all sorted, thank you all for the help, I’ve still got a few setup mesg’d on the screen when I switch on ( is that normal? ) but it’s awesome, thank you

Yep it's definitely in the downloads. I've done quite a few of these and they are documented in my workshop thread if you search for it. Things to look out for, all the resistors on the bottom row (and next row up) get corroded and I usually swap them all out as they fall to bits on removal. Watch out for the track under the battery, it might look good but you'll often find there's no copper under the solder mask (honestly)! The 15 way pins suffer too and sometimes the only sure fix is to replace them. As you've already pointed out the little caps in that area all rot as well. The RESET circuit can be a head scratcher so don't go looking for faults until you know it's all good. The 8212 chip does fail if you're unlucky. Make sure the TVS diodes haven't gone short.
