So my Cateye EL 520 stopped working. It's a non-servicable item, but I've prized the fucker apart anyway. Turns out a battery has leaked into the head, leaving that chalky white stuff everywhere.
What I want to know is this: what does the battery contents actually do to stop the light working, and is it even worth spending any more time saving it?
If there's hope, I'd rather pursue it, as it's £30-£50 I could be spending on the plethora of other bike bits that'll break in a year.
