Hey everyone, been lurking here for a while now.
I have an SB-600 that's been sitting in the bag unused for probably 6 months to a year. I went to pull it out today and one of the alkaline batteries had leaked that white gunk. I cleaned everything off the best I could and replaced the batteries, but the flash won't turn on now.
I can't see any visible corrosion. There was some of that white gunk on the metal contact point on the flash, but that seemed to have all cleaned up, and still no dice.
Any ideas for what else I can try? Is my flash dead?
