The batteries corroded in the camera . How do I successfully clean th

I’m assuming the leaking battery didn’t get into the body of the camera. If it did, you’ll want to open the body and clean it out using the same method below except DON’T use a screwdriver to get the corrosion off. Stick with a plastic brush. For the battery compartment:

1. Vacuum what you can out while you are using a small screwdriver to scrape the battery ends gently. Tap the camera body gently to knock the corrosion out
2. Use a Q Tip dipped in some rubbing alcohol and dab at the corrosion using a new Q Tip end every minute or so.
3. You’ll have to note if you removed the corrosion from the metal tabs (or springs) in the camera. If you didn’t, a small flat blade screwdriver should be used to clean it off and repeat #2 until the metal tabs are clean.
4. As long as you can see metal (it’s ok if it is copper looking beneath the chrome), a fresh battery should conduct power fine.

Hope this helps to save that camera.
