Glow worm Climapro 2 Remote Repair Details

Manufacturer : Glow worm

Model : Climapro 2

Customers Fault Description : There was a leak of battery acid from old batteries, it was only on the contacts and from what I could see, did not leak into the rest of the inside.
I cleaned the contacts with white vinegar and replaced with new batteries but it didn't work (even tried the tinfoil on the contacts).
Several weeks before the remote stopped working it was not communicating with the main system very well.
Regardless of how low I set the temperature, the upstairs would keep heating up to 24.5 degrees.
The remote display was constantly flashing then stopped communicating with the system altogether.
The remote is 6 years old.

Remote Fixer Repair Response (see below) :

This remote arrived safely and on testing was confirmed dead.

On opening there was a mass of contamination left over from the battery leak (see image).  This was cleaned up and the other terminals were also replaced as they were badly corroded.
