TV Remote - battery leak corrosion

Anchises · 2012-02-21 23:33:24

Hi, My sony remote failed recently due to , as it turned out, battery terminal corrosion. :( It's about 3 years old maybe.... Model RM-ED013 - came with a 40" TV. I've scraped off most of the gunk and it works again. But I'm afraid the remaining corrosion mat do more damage. I think I need to open it and clean out any gunk…

Hi,

My sony remote failed recently due to , as it turned out, battery terminal corrosion. It's about 3 years old maybe....

Model RM-ED013 - came with a 40" TV.

I've scraped off most of the gunk and it works again. But I'm afraid the remaining corrosion mat do more damage. I think I need to open it and clean
out any gunk in the case, as well as clean the contacts properly.

Problem is I cannot figure out how to open the remote body. It has three screws that I can remove -in the battery compartment - but still no budge.
I don't want to break it

Is there a knack to opening the case ?

A.
