Two batteries ruined my 1314

Well, I am a headline party, it should be: Apple A1314 Bluetooth keyboard destroyed by two batteries.

positive condition is good

The keyboard was bought in Hong Kong in 2010. At that time, there was an imac, and it was used for several years. Later, the console was sold out and the keyboard remained. In the past two days, I was going to show off my keyboard collection, so I dug it out and prepared to write (water) a note.

The power button is fine

Take out the power button and press the power switch, but there is no response. Oh, this keyboard needs to be installed with two AA batteries. When the batteries were ready, I took a coin and twisted the battery compartment cover. It didn’t work the first time, but it still didn’t work after twisting harder. I was surprised and then observed carefully.

At that time, I may have forgotten it when I put it away. The batteries in it were not taken out. It should be two AA batteries, which leaked after a long time. The keyboard is made of aluminum alloy, and the battery should be an alkaline battery, so the leakage is so corrosive, and the screw cover of the battery compartment is completely rusted to death. 

scarred screw cap

I tried several methods to open the cover, including but not limited to the violent method of hitting with a hammer, RBL, except for leaving some traces, the screw cap did not move at all (I also made a mark with a red pen, you can see if there is any) a little bit of rotation). I don't know if the omnipotent value friend can have any tricks.

Summary: I hope everyone will take me as a warning, as long as the electrical appliance is equipped with AA batteries, if it is not used for a long time, you must take out the batteries! ! !

As I wrote this, I suddenly remembered that I was still an ancient Aihua Walkman, so I had to check it quickly...
