[QUOTE="Virtual1, post: 21334, member: 4084"] That's [B]all[/B] you need to know, "white residue on contacts". That's [I]corrosion[/I] and indicates it got wet while it was applying power. (flying) Smart batteries like that have a micro computer in them running all the time with power, and (internal) water exposure to them is almost always lethal because power+metal+water creates conductive corrosion which shorts out the computer. If it's not turning on and not accepting a charge, it's likely bricked. I would be very surprised if you ever get that battery working again. Definitely a used unit, probably someone crashed and dunked it and then did a return and the yutz that refurb-checked it didn't do his job. Returning it was the right response. [/QUOTE]
