Hello,
No formal training, but do like to repair devices at home (and keep vintage electronics and computers going).
Yet another alkaline battery has leaked prodigiously into a device (after only a few months). A wall-mounted thermostat.
Is the sort of clip pictured, which contacts an AA battery negative terminal at one end, and seemed to just clamp onto a conductive trace at the edge of PCB at the other, an easy-to-find standard form (for replacement) or a custom piece?
It is quite corroded and even peeling, and suspect replacing the clip would be better than devising a work-around.
Visually searching through product photos on supplier websites (like Digi--- and Mous-- here in the US) has not been effective.
Thanks for any comment.
Thanks for the self-help suggestion, and the product link (my search-terms must indeed have been inadequate)...
