Hi. I have a Sony external battery case EBP-20 that is seriously corroded (at least that's what it looks like to me). How do I go about cleaning these contacts and such. Thanks everybody for your help in advance and happy headphone listening.

PS I put this thread here rather than DIY 'cause I hoped that the PCDP fanatics (like me

) could best help. If a mod wants to move this, please do.

Chip off what you can with a screwdriver or whatever. Use sandpaper or a fine file to clean the rest. See if you can open the case and pull the contacts out; that will make them easier to sand.

I don't know of any easier way. This is how I've done it in the past.

If the crud is from a leaky battery, you may want to use a little baking soda paste to netralize the battery acid.

Hmmm, thanks very much for both of your responses. I'll probably try both of the ideas. There are a couple of small screws holding the thing together, but I also see a few of those snap-clip-things that are really small so I'm a little worried about breaking those. Anyway, thanks again for the suggestions and anyone else out there with ideas feel free to contribute.
