Topic: Batteries leaked on my remote

[Wildfire™]

Guys i need help 

The batteries on my remote leaked because I haven't use it in awhile, now even after changing the batteries the remote wont work. Marerepair pa ba to?

[jarod]

There could still be some corrosive liquid inside the remote. what youcan do is open the remote and manually inspect the innards. Wipe and dry everything. Wash your hands since the liquid is corrosive then install a new set of batteries.

A remote generally has simple circuitry that cold survive that scenario.

You can try an universal remote that support your brand.

you can use contact cleaner for the battery terminals.. at kiskisin mo until mawala yung corrosion.. hope this helps! 

[jarod]

+1 on Contact cleaner. Solvents such as alcohol may be too harsh for sensitive electronics. Just make sure to spray it with out batteries

mga brader contact cleaner ba ung wd40?

[jarod]

NO! That's a lubricant and semi-water resisting agent.

Here are some locally available contact/electronic cleaners in your suking mall hardwares:

This Cycle brand I use when cleaning my car's electronics as well.

clean the battery contacts and see if it can work

[at_sunset_blvd]

Use a very fine sandpaper to shave the battery terminals w/ the hardened liquid from the batteries that leaked out. Or you can use a small screwdriver to clean the affected parts. Maybe not to good to use alcohol on it, contact cleaner would do well If it still wont work then that needs to be check by a technician or have to get a new one if it cant be repaired. Goodluck

terminals are clean but circuit board still has some corrosive substance

[jarod]

Better clean them first as it may still short the board thus will fail to operate.

huge problem that i notice just now, one of the positive terminal was melted into rust  thats why there are so much rust and corrosive stuff in there.

Try if you could just solder a new metal tin in there.

I think it the best thing to do (pro help) or if it cant be revive better get a new one like a LOGITECH HARMONY (plenty of models to choose from)
