Hello all,
I picked up an 2000 a couple weeks ago after not having an Amiga for many years. I found it did have battery damage so I removed the battery first
I then found the 68000 had one pin not in the socket making me think someone was swapping parts possibly trying to fix it or another. I pulled the 68000 out and could see one pin of the socket was in bad shape so I have removed the socket.
Here you can see some of the damage (phone blurred a bit)

Since the socket was bad anyway I did a destructive removal. Ripping the plastic off makes it easier to desolder one pin at a time rather than having to get all 68 loose at the same time.
I resoldered in a new socket but still get a green screen at power on. Looking for some more troubleshooting info.
