[SunRescue] Dead Sparc NVRAMS

[Bran Tregare]

Yes you may include it. Lithium is highly corrosive and i've had to replace 
many PWWCWW mainboards, it wicks out through the traces/wiring, eating it 
as it goes along and then finally when it hits the mainboard it will eat 
through the traces and eventually destroy the mainboard.
