[QUOTE="nickt, post: 567859, member: 4923"] Its probably best to send it in. But if for some reason Nikon won't fix it or the cost is not practical, try this: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/DeoxITLiquid-squeeze-tube-100%25-solution/dp/B0015A5AAY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1468195541&sr=8-7&keywords=deoxit[/URL] If that works, then there is a deoxit gold for ongoing protection. When batteries leak, they eat away the protective plating on the contacts. You clean them, the device works, but then it fails again soon because the unprotected base metal quickly oxidizes. They need some grease-like protection forever after that unless you replace them. I'm just speaking generally here, never had this happen to a flash. You could try gently cleaning with a pencil eraser. If you happen to have a pen-shaped wire brush in your toolkit, that would work well. There is also the possibility that the corrosive liquid traveled further into the flash and destroyed the circuit board over time. Good luck. Hopefully Nikon can fix it reasonably and you don't have to mess around with it. [/QUOTE]
