When a battery leaks it leak acid which can damage or ruin everything it touches. First how extensive was the leak? Was it just a bit or did it seep onto the circuit board? You can clean the terminals. Remember your dealing with battery acid. Do it over a metal can and brush the terminals with a small wire brush. (Don't touch your eyes until your finished and have thoroughly washed your hands.) Just like you would a battery terminal. Then when down to the metal again use a regular pencil eraser to finish the cleaning. You may try a drop of flux per terminal as well after using the wire brush. If a wire was negated then soldier a new one in. You can also use a small, dry, non soap impregnated SOS pad in place of a wire brush. Install new batteries and give it a try. If no acid ruined the circuit board it is just an issue of getting the terminals to run current through them again.

Volume knob of sony icf- sw 7600gr radio stuck on high volume. Cant be reduced

Recently I found a Sony ICF 7600GR with same issue.... Radio runs full volume.. can't be controlled... Found a SMD package capacitor C252 ,1uf was short.. 1.2Volt was missing on pin number 14 of IC 203

Check these voltages of IC 203 ( CXA1522P)
Pin -15 Voltage is 1.3V
Pin -14 voltage is 1.2V then" No/low Volume".
Pin -14 voltage is below 0.5 then "Full Volume ".

By varying volume control (RV204 , 50K) , Pin number 14 of IC 203 must vary between 0.3V to 1.2V.

ICF 2010, no sound suddenly

If the radio does not work with headphone then the external jack for audio may have broken loose from it's soldered points. Simple re solder may make the repair. Beyond that it would have to be diagnosed by a technician.
