Hi, I'm trying to fix a wiimote I bought second hand a while ago when I needed another one. At start it worked but then it stopped.
When I opened it there was corrosion on the spots that touch the batteries, I don't have photos of the previous conditions I'll post the state now. I've cleaned the removable one with vinegar and salt, there's still a little bit of brown which may be too advanced to get cleaned, hope that's not a problem. The other one I couldn't desolder it with only 2 hands so I just scratched the corrosion away and used ipa and there's continuity as you can see. Another thing is that it seems a component is missing? But it didn't fall off when I opened it e when I bought it it worked for a while, maybe it's correct for this revision to not have it but I can't find info online
