Update: Battery gunk almost totaled a vintage Nikon

If you see green crust in the battery compartment, stop and clean it right away. I had one where the corrosion spread and shorted the whole board, took me days to fix. Now I check every time before I even turn the camera on.

Wait, that's usually corrosion eating through circuits, not a short, but still awful.

Yeah that corrosion can creep FAR beyond where you first see it.
