That power supply seemed to be completely fried from one end to the other with broken traces all over. I'm scared of trying to fix mine, what I will find! 😄
To be fair, this board was one of the worst I've seen so far. The amount of corrosion/electrolyte damage seems to vary wildly depending on storage conditions.
I used a process called retr0brighting. Basically it uses hydrogen peroxide and UV/heat to bleach the plastic. There are various techniques with varying rates of success. It's a bit hit-and-miss and by no means permanent but "303 aerospace protectant" seems to help prevent re-yellowing somewhat. There's a lot of content on TH-cam on the subject of retr0bright, I'd suggest spending a couple of hours learning about the process.

Great work, I admire you, what preparation do you use for the casing so that it is not so yellow
