    • Check for corrosion around the springs and the flat plate where the batteries touch.

    • Do not touch the corrosion. It may be battery acid.

    • Use a flat head screwdriver to chisel away the corrosion, and use a Q-tip to wipe it clean.

    • Do not use water to wet the Q-tip, as water can damage the Rumble Pak.

    Use a Q-tip dipped in vinegar to neutralize the battery acid and help prevent further corrosion. This also helps with the clean up process.
