Could anyone help me, please? Found one of the Pen EF, and I'm planning to get it to use. However, the flash system is not working at all. The previous owner reported an AA battery leaked inside of it, and it surely has some crusts of blue "rust" inside (copper rust, apparently). I tried to scrap it off as much as possible, and making an electric contact of tin foil, to make the battery have connection with the 2 contacts in the camera body, but it didn't work much. It seems to be conducting energy, once it makes that buzzing sound like if the flash is loading, but it does not fire at all, not even in a dark room. Would it be possible to fix it and use it?
