Quick Fix, Battery Leak Clean up

This is a short video on a quick fix a common problem: Battery Leak inside electronic items such as cameras.
In this video we start with the general task of cleaning a camera (Nikon 401s) only to discover that it does not work. Investigation shows that there is a battery leak in the battery chamber that prevents the batteries from making contact. We provide tips and tricks on how to properly clean-up the whole camera including the battery leak.
The battery leak section starts at 2:15 minutes.
If you have any questions, comments or corrections, it will be greatly appreciated.
At the TechHeritage Museum we have over 300 cameras from 1901 to 2015 and Mobile phones from mid-1980’s to 2015. We clean-up, repair, test, use and display both physically and through online videos on the TechHeritage CZcams channel.
Through this process we come across all kinds of problems, which need to be solved. Our motto is “NEVER GIVE UP”. So, even when it is easier to discard an item and get another one online that works, we prefer to restore everything we get. Through this process we get to know each item intimately and practice the art of restoration in general.
The technology heritage will eventually be seen in the same light as the marble statues from Greece and Rome. There will be specialists restoring them, starting with the discovery of how they ever worked through such intricate mechanisms. We are a small part of that process.

If you are interested in preserving the technological heritage of the last 100 years or so, please consider donating to the TechHeritage channel. No, not money. We do not need your money. By donation, we mean forgotten technology that is collecting dust in your old desk in the basement. It may be an old camera, an early mobile phone or even an early transistor radio. It probably won't work. But that is fine. Please mention in your comments below. We will contact you and organize shipment. We will then produce a video on that item in your name and thank you.
