Albert,
you can not make out this remote is almost approx 13 years old .... still in brand new condition Because of this plastic wrap..i never had this type of Battery leakage problem in this remote... you can see the brand of the cell, May be because of duplicate battery..i replaced this batteries not more than 6 months back.

Sir,
Many times I found this type of leakage in wireless Keyboard & Mouse, it badly corrode Copper track & Metal Contacts springs of Cells; which only has to be replaced with a new one.very rare companies use stainless still wire for this type of contacts which gets clean easily using turpentine or patrol.

In reply to Tayo.

You are right Tayo, it is difficult to clean the corroded contacts onece the acid gets dry.when i opened the remote i seen still liquid is there that means the cell may have just leaked & still provide the power.

I would be very careful with using thiner on such boards. from experinece the best thing I have seen and did on cleaning such corrostion is white vinger. on the other side it is a nice sweet thing when we help family memebers. thanks for sharing and have a blessed day

Everything clear, but why wrapping the plastic foil around the remote?

Yes, you are right! It can even burn our skin. It can damage the tracks and leave scars too on the plastic body. Many thanks for sharing!

Good save! When this happens (in my experience) the battery corrosion simple prevents proper contact of the replacement battery. This corrosion is very hard to clean off and require mechanical remediation more than chemical ones like you used. Lucikly i have never had this leakage actually damage any components on the PCB.

Now she said that the indicator light was blinking when she tried it. Thats vert strange.. not sure how that compromised battery can still provide any power at all.
