Fuji FinePix S1500 from repair to shooting - Remove corrosion-Bridge battery contact-Refresh plastic

Two weeks ago I was asked if I could use an old, ugly and probably broken camera. It was a Fuji Fine Pix S 1500. And of course I said yes. Of course I wanted to try to bring this camera back to life. In this video I show you how and with what means I cleaned the completely corroded battery contacts, restored the contact between a battery and the battery door and made the plastic look like new.
