I have the same problem with mine I had about 10 to 15 litres of water under the front seat from blocked drains. My board was like yours and had corrosion on it like yours. I cleaned it with alcohol and it still had the same problem but mine would start but key buttons would not work. So I removed the seat again removed the board and sent it out to a company here close to Ottawa and I received it yesterday. I will try to install it today if it can stop raining and will let you know if it works.
