Default Alkaline Battery Leakage: Dissolving?

Got an LED flashlight where the batteries leaked and made the
push-button switch on the end not work.

Just looking at it, I can see deposits from the leakage, but cannot get
to them to physically clean them off.

Can anybody recommend something to splash on there to dissolve said
deposits without messing things up more?


Water, then clean, apply deoxit, wd40 or your favorite lube. Sometimes the
plating comes off and your in trouble.
