What causes the trace to become corroded is unclear, although it is generally believed to be a manufacturing defect which left contaminants on the board. The corrosion seems to start from the edges of the motherboard and work its way inward, which is why the power trace, the outermost trace on the board, is affected first. If the corrosion is allowed to spread, the eject button and LEDs will later begin to malfunction. There are currently no known cases of the corrosion occurring on the interior of the board.
