I'm *so* happy to click "like" on a helpful video that doesn't artificially inflate two minutes of content with eight minutes of filler.

Two especially great things about this video: (1) the close-ups were in focus and well-lit; (2) it was brief and to the point.

Great video no loud intro just straight to the point

Alkaline battery corrosion neutralized by an acid [vinegar.] Makes sense and the bubbling is proof. Thanks! Subscribed!

Thanks for this clear and uncomplicated tutorial. I’ve just revived one of my grandson’s toys which one day came out of the bottom of the toy box dead. He of course hadn’t seen it for a while but immediately lit up when it was in his hand. Only to be disappointed when it didn’t turn on. I thought, “Uh-oh, ” when I went to change the batteries. I tried to clean it (eraser, toothpick), but no-go. I thought about sweeping it into the trash can, but left it on the counter, in plain sight—keep your failures front of mind if you want to change the outcome! Two days later this came up in my feed (thanks, You Tube!) and now I’m a hero. Subscribed, for re-inforcing my newfound hero handyman status in the future.

That is how DIY videos should be. Simple, short and precise. Extremely liked your video!

I had absolutely no faith in this video. Did as instructed and worked like a charm. A genuine thank you. 🙏🏽

After attempting to use a wire brush and flat head screwdriver to no avail, I looked for an answer on YouTube. Came across your video, and with nothing to lose, gave it a shot. IT WORKED! You just made my kiddos day getting their train remote to work with their train set. Thank you! Now this has me thinking about all the items thrown away that could have been saved! lol

[dr.speschl]

Thank you. You helped me repair my late grandfather's laserpointer, that meant the world to me, he used to show me buildings around the city and explain their history to me.

Thank you, from my heart.

Finally a useful video! I bought a used game at Goodwill and my son was so disappointed that it didn’t work. Thanks to your video, I was able to bring it back to life! I’m excited because it’s an educational game, he’s going to learn something, and I’m not out any money. He’s excited because his new game works. Thank you!! 🎉🎉

Simple.. once you know how. Your humor was warm and welcome. Your strategy was to the point and clearly stated. Very well organized video. (5 stars)

The greatest tip from this video is in the comments about Duracell batteries being the worst. Thanks and the cleaning procedure was spot on too

I have done this in the past. Works great! Also white vinegar will loosen/remove rust.

I always use vinegar to clean ALKALINE battery corrosion. I then use alcohol to "rinse" when done. Instead of screw driver, a toothbrush will clean the rest off. Test terminals for continuity and use as before... Excellent video and 100% accurate..

Dude, it's the first time I seen this! When you said to tap the like button at 1:32, the button actually glowed! is this an option now on the video editor or it's a easter egg from youtube?

As a certified Bio-Medical Electronics Technician I have seen medical equipment (hand held ultrasound, portable pace makers etc.) that were corroded. Our shop supervisor would not allow us to scratch the gold plated contacts as it can remove the thin layer of gold and expose the base metal to the air and further corrosion. He recommended a pure gum (Pink Pearl) because they had no fiberglass in the eraser. Vinegar is a weak acid. You use this to clean the leaked powder(base) as it neutralizes and turns it to a salt. Then as you clean it with the alcohol be sure to let the fluids run off the area into a towel so as to keep from draining into the rest of the device. Salts are conductive and could cause the circuit board to malfunction. I have cleaned many a legacy PS2 keyboard with coffee or soda spills in them and on a humid day they start to act up. Additionally a can of "duster" spray is also effective in removal of salts.

lemon juice works pretty well also if you don't have vinegar handy. Used this for many years to save electronics that would otherwise be trash in most households. I have also taught it to my kids. great video.

I am a 60 year old woman who doesn't consider myself handy, but I found this video desiring to clean the corrosion from a mini personal shaver! It worked like a charm. So glad I found this video instead of throwing it away!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[collinlovas]

It worked. Thank you!!! And it was a label maker that needed the attention!
