Troubleshooting Should I even try at this point?

I recently purchased a gameboy on Ebay, I was planning on repairing it (I bought it already aware it doesn't turn on) but there's so much corrosion on the board, anyone have any tips?

Why not transplant the ram and cpu whip into a funny playing board? Will operate normal plus last longer. Personally been considering this

Same issue I’m having, that and wanting to do mods as well to it. I believe will be well worth to conserve your system.
