Re: Springs in battery compartment fell off in Rebel T3 - possible to fix?

I posted on several forums and I did get fantastic answer. As I posted yesterday, the camera appeared to be working perfectly and some guys posted that there actually need to be only 3 contacts: one is positive, one is negative (on either side) one is for sensing battery voltage between the two and the other is used for charging, which is why one is missing in the camera since it doesn't charge. The battery grip for that camera also only uses 3 pins. So it should be 1 then gap and 2 others together, here you go! It looks like all I need to do is to clean with rubbing alcohol all the contacts after my vacation.
