Really hard. This A3000 seems to have remained for years in a cellar, has heavy damage due to moisture. And battery acid gave the final blow.

But, as I usually say, there is no hardware problem that a good soldering iron can not solve.

Currently, the problem is TIME. There are hundreds of desoldering/soldering spot to be done.

That's the spirit!

Just come back and ask if you find anything you're not sure how to deal with.
