Alkaline batteries are prone to leaking and many consumers face the problem of how to clean up the messy corrosion left in their electronic devices. You should first check with the battery's manufacturer. Many of them offer free cleaning of electronic devices damaged by their leaking batteries. Some of them will replace your damaged item if caused solely by leakage under routine conditions

1. Verify the type of battery (Alkaline vs Acid based). Avoid eye or skin contact.
2. Take precautions. Alkaline batteries contain potassium hydroxide, a caustic agent than can cause respiratory, eye and skin irritation. In order to neutralize the leaked alkaline you will need a household acid like vinegar or lemon juice. A Q-tip or old tooth brush can help scrub the leakage from the electrical contacts. Always use household gloves and glasses and work in a well-ventilated area.
3. Clean acid-based batteries with baking soda (an alkaline) and a little bit of water on a Q-tip or old tooth brush. Never put water directly on the acid.

laistrop,

The fact that your camera was not used for a year and assuming the batteries remained in the camera (uncharged?) after that long a period of time, it would be very likely the batteries have deteriorated and may need to be replaced. The first thing to try is charging the batteries if you have not already done so. Plug in the charger and allow at least 12 hours for the batteries to charge. If the camera still will not work, the original batteries have very likey lost their ability to hold a charge and will have to be replaced. To test this, without spending too much money, try inserting 4 Alkaline AA batteries in the camera (observe the battery polarity marked on the flip-top battery cover). If the camera works, you should replace the batteries with fresh NiMh rechargeable batteries and charge them before you attempt to use the camera. Allow at least 12 hours for the initial charge unless the battery manufacturer suggests otherwise. I would not recommend using any form of "rapid" or "quick" charge rechargeable battery. If you do, you will be paying extra for a convenience you will not use, unless you plan to use an external quick charger, since the camera is not equipped to support rapid battery charging.
