Salt is the devil and washing it out is essential, but do you risk doing more damage with water? As you note, you're not going to get pure water.

I'm not sure that's possible.

It was 13 years ago I had the YS-110 compartment flood, but that does seem to be independent of the rest of it. I can't recall if they had alcohol or vinegar, or if I made due with water. But I did rinse that, to get the battery corrosion out, and then toothbrush the metal contacts. It looks ugly, but it works. I'm going to try to sell the pair, but that one goes for a big discount.

I've had that happen to the battery compartment of my AF-35 flash and a YS-D1.  Same solution.  Even saved batteries from one of them, though they were always rusted after.
