In case off akaline battery i Read that vinegar neutralise corrosion on the terminals. I ordered new terminals on AliExpress for this kind off cases. They are cheap. But they are still laying for 20 days in liege (belgium) and no sign of movement now.

Ik heb gelezen dat azijn de corosie neutraliseer als het om akaline batterijen gaat. Maar dat is niet altijd de oplossing. Ik heb daarom batterijen contacten besteld op AliExpress, ze kosten niet veel. Maar helaas ligt een gedeelte ervan nog steeds in Luik, nu al 20 dagen.

This may have been an easy repair, but to see real joy on a child's face is worth more than money. After all, how many times does money bring Joy? Then the joy was given to the child that received the book reader.

Agree with Albert, In most of the device which run on pencil cell in battery compartment this metal clips are always problem. why these manufacturers are not using some different type of metal say Brass stainless steel or Plated copper, hardly it may make difference to them of cent or two in cost wise.

Waleed, I always salvage this types of parts from badly damaged equipment because of irreparable condition of those bad Epoxy covered IC.

Vow! Another kid is very happy to have got back the toy in good working condition. It is always a pleasure to see the sparkle in the face of kids whenever we fix something for them. They are so innocent that we too get the positive charge from them quickly. Well, a good and rewarding job there!

Rust is never a good sign and always can be found in battery compartments first.
If batteries were leaking the metal plates get rusted. They say that we can undo most of the damage with washing soap. Corroded metal we can let soak in a lot of soap for a day or two until we can brush away most of the often greenish corrosion. (in chemistry we have salts and bases and we nutrualize one with the other to undo damage). And washing machine powder soap is often used to undo rust on metal iron tools.
