Batteries left inside (by 2 users)
posted by profseverus on May 06, 2008
My dad had this camera during the 80s-90s, but since we last used it, he forgot to take the batteries out and the kind of melted. I took them out, tried to clean it as much as possible, but still won't work when I insert new batteries.. Any advice? :(
thank you in advance.

GuruHey profseverus,
I hate being the bearer of bad news, but what is probably going on is that the battery acid has corroded internal components. You could have it looked at by an authorized service technician, and see how much it would cost to get fixed. I don't know how thorough you were with your cleaning, but you definitely want to get all corrosion out of the battery compartment (try using rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs).
Sincerely,
Allan
