I gather they've spent a few years "under the bunk in the caravan". Sadly, the batteries were also left in situ.
At this stage it doesn't look like the leak has progressed any further than the battery compartment.
In previous attempts at repairing items with leaked batteries, after the scrapping and emory boards, I have tried various solvents - metho, board cleaner, etc. but the verdigris always seems to magically reappear.
Does anyone have a magic formula for removing the green/blue monster?
Gday
Try Bicarb soda moistened in water... sort of like a paste. Rub in with cotton bud etc?
leave it there for a few minutes?
then wipe off
Maybe try it again couple of times
Also sometimes fairly hottish water may help?
